Yet another insecure temporary file vulnerability. Why do we still
not
polyinstantiate /tmp by default? We're wasting lots of time on security
measures which keep breaking apps such as SELinux, but simple things like
polyinstantiation are still not used, why? This code would be perfectly
safe if polyinstantiation was mandatory. Why are we stuck in the 1970s?
... send patches? It's techncially feasible, but no one's done the
legwork to integrate it fully yet. (xguest goes a bit beyond what
we'd want by default.)
