- More information:
-
Steve Kemp from the Debian Security Audit project discovered several local vulnerabilities in xwine, a graphical user interface for the WINE emulator.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
- CVE-2008-0930
The xwine command makes unsafe use of local temporary files when printing. This could allow the removal of arbitrary files belonging to users who invoke the program.
- CVE-2008-0931
The xwine command changes the permissions of the global WINE configuration file such that it is world-writable. This could allow local users to edit it such that arbitrary commands could be executed whenever any local user executed a program under WINE.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.1-1etch1.
We recommend that you upgrade your xwine package.
