WINE Still Vulnerable to WMF Exploit

Posted by Zonk on from the patch-up-young-linux-users dept.

blast3r wrote to mention a ZDNet Blog posting by George Ou, stating that WINE is still vulnerable to the WMF flaw. From the article: "All applications launched inside Wine, Cedega, or Cross-Over Office are technically still exploitable. Wine runs on most x86 platforms, including Linux and the various BSDs. The surprising part about finding this flaw in Wine is that they implemented the entire Meta File API without realizing that this could be a security issue. Exploiting a Windows application running inside Wine depends on that application calling the vulnerable function with malicious data."

    Unless an editor modded me troll, someone just used their finite mod points on my post. Somehow, that's rather amusing.
