secure /tmp, but why?
i've heard lots of ppl saying /tmp directory must be secured, such as noexec and nosuid, but not sure why?/tmp is not the only directory in linux, what's so special about it and must do some specific instruction to secure it?
what i read from admin0:
Almost all of the exploits found freely in the internet accessible to general public, target /tmp as an ideal place to write/compile exploits, and recently some new exploits target /var/tmp. Thus, securing your /tmp and /var/tmp is recommended!

thank you.
