Current setting:
# -- Filesystem configuration ------------------------------------------------

# The location where ModSecurity stores temporary files (for example, when
# it needs to handle a file upload that is larger than the configured limit).
#
# This default setting is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however,
# this is less than ideal. It is recommended that you specify a location that's 
private.
#
SecTmpDir /tmp/

# The location where ModSecurity will keep its persistent data.  This default 
setting
# is chosen due to all systems have /tmp available however, it
# too should be updated to a place that other users can't access.
#
SecDataDir /tmp/

Rationale:
These default settings were chosen due /tmp being available on all systems, 
however, from a security perspective you should update these settings to point 
to restricted locations where only Apache has access.
