Package: libpam-tmpdir Status: install ok unpacked Priority: optional Section: admin Installed-Size: 59 Maintainer: Tollef Fog Heen Architecture: amd64 Source: pam-tmpdir Version: 0.11 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1), libpam-runtime (>= 1.0.1-6) Description: automatic per-user temporary directories Many programs use $TMPDIR for storing temporary files. Not all of them are good at securing the permissions of those files. libpam-tmpdir sets $TMPDIR and $TMP for PAM sessions and sets the permissions quite tight. This helps system security by having an extra layer of security, making such symlink attacks and other /tmp based attacks harder or impossible
