Creating temporary files in a non-atomic way introduces race condition issues
|
||
|
|
in the application's behavior. Indeed, a third party can create a given file
|
||
|
|
between when the application chooses its name and when it creates it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In such a situation, the application might use a temporary file that it does not
|
||
|
|
entirely control. In particular, this file's permissions might be different than
|
||
|
|
expected. This can lead to trust boundary issues.
