security sweep before 1.0?security sweep before 1.0?Posted Apr 16, 2008 19:43 UTC (Wed) by superstoned (subscriber, #33164)In reply to: security sweep before 1.0? by JoeBuck Parent article: The making of Wine (Network World)
Yep. Until now, I've always thought Wine to be too incomplete (yet) to be able to run most spyware/addware/etc properly - but those times might be gone soon...

security sweep before 1.0? Posted Apr 16, 2008 21:39 UTC (Wed) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] Wouldn't running everything in its own bottle largely fix this? I suppose some thought would have to be put into privs... don't want it to be like client-side Java: - "this application is requesting access to ./alck.foo^. Grant / Deny?" - "This application would like to open a socket to http://secure.example.com:9248 Grant / Deny?" It was even worse than Vista! Would Wine be able to do something like this? Or is sandboxing / bottling just too difficult to be worth the dev time?
