WCry 2.0 functions perfectly under Wine

That is pretty scary. Anyone know if there is any info on if it will only encrypt the c_drive folder that wine makes or the entire fs?

Isn't the entier fs exposed as Z: or so in wine? I know there's some way to get to the user's home directory which is probably good enough to cause essentially the same amount of pain.

yea it seems Z: is mapped to the root fs, so if wine has the right permissions it could cause some damage.

Weird. Is wine based off XP?

No, you don't need to exploit the bug to run the software; this involves running it manually.

WCry set up an example how to let users screw up themselves easily.

Most interesting. However, you have to butcher your system a bit in order to make that happen... That doesn't say there aren't setups like that, but they are really one out of million.

How is that so? I believe Wine processes have r/w access to the user's home directory.
