if I believe the search engine at nvd.nist.gov, only one in 2007:

http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-4429

Interestingly, WengoPhone also got one this year:
http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-4366

I didn't find any CVE for Gizmo this year.

I'm not proposing he use or non-use of Skype, or free vs close source
here.  But the number of CVE in a calendar year is probably not the
best metric to use; security vulnerabilities occurs in all software
people use, open or close source.
