Bug #: 33958 Summary: Wine vulnerability with (USB) devices Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Mac OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: f.platte@platte-web.de Classification: Unclassified
I have a original XBOX controller and use a third-party driver (which is officially discontinued since OS X Tiger, but was updated some time ago to be 64bit compatible. It is the only driver out there for XBOX 1 controller for OS X so I have to use it. This driver seems to mess up the UNIX device manager (or similar, as I don't have any consolidated knowledge), resulting in crashing any wine process accessing the controller as a input device.
I get the following error message (repetitive) from the console whenever the controller is connected:
sudo[4755]: [CURRENT_USER] : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/renice [#] -p [#]
Although this issue does not seem to be related to wine itself it reveals some vulnerability (I think). It may be worth fixing, as this might occur this other devices, too.
Best, Rastafabi
