Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> added the comment: Oh, you mean the security risk if the temporary names can be guessed? My recollection is that it is more of a problem for temporary directories than it is for temporary files, since the module can't control how files inside a temp directory get created. It's been a long time since I read anything detailed on the threat models and attack scenarios mkstemp() and friends were designed to handle though, so Google may be a better source of answers on that front.
