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.
