FreeBSD : wine -- information disclosure due to insecure temporary file handling (48a59c96-9c6e-11d9-a040-000a95bc6fae)

low Nessus Plugin ID 18924

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Due to insecure temporary file creation in the Wine Windows emulator, it is possible for any user to read potentially sensitive information from temporary registry files.

When a Win32 application is launched by wine, wine makes a dump of the Windows registry in /tmp with name regxxxxyyyy.tmp , where xxxxxx is the pid in hexadecimal value of the current wine process and yyyy is an integer value usually equal to zero.

regxxxxyyyy.tmp is created with 0644 (-rw-r--r--) permissions. This could represent a security problem in a multi-user environment.
Indeed, any local user could access to windows regstry's dump and get sensitive information, like passwords and other private data.

Solution

Update the affected package.
