That can't happen as WIne runs non-root. At mostthey can gain user access. Anything more is a Linux bug.
No but if there is a big enough hole, they could use it to get access to the /etc/passwd and then use a dos program (crackerjack comes to mind here) to decrypt the program (especially if they are dual-booting win9x and linux)
