An interesting starting point for your research (already mentioned in the
recent "How to pentest Skype?" pen-test mailing list thread, together with
some other interesting material -- you should take a look at the archives
for further information) is:

http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~salman/skype/

And, of course, Google/CVE/OSVDB/SecurityFocus/etc. are your friends:

http://www.google.com/search?q=skype+security
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=skype
http://search.securityfocus.com/swsearch?sbm=%2F&metaname=alldoc&query=skype
http://www.osvdb.org/searchdb.php?action=search_title&vuln_title=skype

[...]

Hope this helps,
