"A vulnerability in wine can be exploited by malicious, local users to
perform certain actions on a vulnerable system with escalated privileges.
The vulnerability is caused due to a temporary file being created
insecurely in "/tmp" by winelauncher.in under certain error conditions.
This can be exploited via symlink attacks to create or overwrite
arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the affected
application."

Patch from Wine CVS.
XXX Audio support is probably broken due to massive use of unsupported
XXX Linux stuff in the OSS interface which I commented out. However
XXX I don't have an application to test it.
