1. Skype and Internet Explorer uri handler mechanism memory resources consumption bug:
This will invoke many skype.exe processes and as they are not closed - much memory will be consumed. Such script will be blocked by popup blocker, so it is possible to do it other way:
... I've used about megabyte of such crap
Tested on IE7, WinXP SP2 and skype 3.6.0.216
2. Unexploitable Skype null pointer dereference:
skype:?voicemail
To trigger the bug a right mouse button must be clicked, or menu button selected. Skype should crash :)
