Source: pam-tmpdir Section: admin Priority: optional Maintainer: Tollef Fog Heen Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), libpam-dev, dh-autoreconf Standards-Version: 3.8.2 Package: libpam-tmpdir Architecture: any Pre-Depends: ${misc:Pre-Depends} Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, 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
