A Win32 program running on Wine could detect that it was really running
under linux,
and then do linux syscalls directly. So theoretically, Wine itself has
no hard measure of
protection. However, you can define the Wine drives to point to
someplace innocent, you
can run Wine as a separate unix user, and I guess you can use the usual
chroot or jailroot
or whatever they are called.
