Title: XWine WINE Configuration File Local Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
XWine is a graphical user interface for WINE.
The application is prone to a vulnerability that can allow local attackers to execute arbitrary commands. The 'w_export.c' source file sets the permissions of the WINE configuration file '/etc/wine/config/' to be world-writable.
Local attackers can exploit this issue by editing the WINE configuration file to execute arbitrary commands whenever a local user executes a program under WINE.
This issue affects XWine 1.0.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.
