Hi,
There are a dll planting vuln in skype installer. This vuln had been
reported to Microsoft but they decided not fix this.
Here is the vulnerability details:
------
Skype installer in Windows is open to DLL hijacking.
Skype looks for a specific DLL by dynamically going through a set of
predefined directories. One of the directory being scanned is the
installation directory, and this is exactly what is abused in this
vulnerability.
Reproduce Notes:
1. Download this dll
https://mega.nz/#!b4ViSLJL!Pv99pN2d_WxsUHGPH0Ej3onwVeSdh41mpyKfQJfAq8E
2. Copy msi.dll to Downloads directory
3. download skype installer
4. execute the downloaded installer from your "Downloads" directory;
Observed behavior: message box ahyhya
Another dll can be used to hijack: dpapi.dll cryptui.dll
