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?
