See also: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/355005 (in fact this might be a dupe). I'll repeat the comment I made there: why can't Firefox do the same thing it does in Windows when you download an executable file? Firefox has specific behavior there to warn the user about executables. -- firefox shouldnt suggest to open .exe files with wine (virus) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yay, right. I agree that is difficult to blame it on Firefox. But that does not mean that there's not a problem. The distribution should take steps to protects their users. It just happens that the combination of MIME types, browsers and wine can lead an user to compromise his/her system. Shouldn't this hole be closed?

[Bug 309214] Re: firefox shouldnt suggest to open .exe files with wine (virus)
I agree with upstream's comments. If you are going to install virus' than its your problem not firefox. maybe file a bug upstream with wine to check the file you are trying to run. ** Changed in: firefox Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- firefox shouldnt suggest to open .exe files with wine (virus) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309214 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What do you mean by "won't fix"? Why not? This is a particularly dangerous security concern! Firefox should NOT run arbitrary executables from the internet.
