Description-en: 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
