This is not a dup of that bug - bug 14335 - (actually had forgotten all about this), semi-related to bug 552323
This is specific to .exe's on cdrom media. which wine, (Wine Windows Program Loader), will not execute because of the 'security bit policy' And even with that policy in place users could have run .exe's on a cdrom if ubuntu was still using the typical fstab entry for cd/dvd drives. At the heart of this is the policy which has never been demonstrated to be of any real world value, certainly not by the security team. nor any posted documentation I've seen A roadblock without a posted detour accomplishes nothing unless the intention was either user frustration or forcing users to figure it out themselves. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575355 Title: Non-Exec Policy being applied to .exe on cdrom -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
