The Skype network is circulating a virus that has appeared there
before:
http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=198500135 . The 
virus sends a URL to other Skype users in the infected user's contacts, which 
the target Skype displays as clickable. Clicking downloads the virus. Asterisk 
supports features like these, in combination with certain clients (which aren't 
themselves Asterisk), including IM and URL redirection. Any reports of this 
kind of attack on Asterisk itself, or using Asterisk to support those 
potentially vulnerable clients? Any analysis of Asterisk's vulnerability to 
these? Any mitigations?
