             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 at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: f.platte at 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
