Old Call of Duty RCE's and Proton (feddit.nu)

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to play some of the old COD games, and noticed that remote code execution exploits such as CVE-2018-20817 exist and seem to be unpatched. So I was wondering if this exploit affects or can be mitigated when running through Proton?

As I assume most of these exploits are intended for Windows systems, I'd assume it would be fairly harmless if I could disable mounting the default root filesystem and external drive mounts to the prefix. Digging through winetricks/protontricks I haven't managed to find such an option though.

Maybe check out emulators if you’re okay with controllers? I just downloaded CoD MW2 for Xbox 360 on my Steam Deck because I can’t play with a keyboard and mouse and the controller scheme just works as it should.

I use Xenia Canary and there is a netplay version too.
