Status for otf2bdf/3.1-5

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
0001-Fix-unsafe-tmp-handling.patch Fix unsafe /tmp handling
otf2bdf opened a file in /tmp with a predictable name and without taking
any precautions to ensure that it didn't already exist. This meant that
it was trivial for a user other than the one running otf2bdf to cause
trouble by creating those files ahead of time. This doesn't seem to be
usefully exploitable on a default Debian system, though.

This commit fixes the problem by using the tmpfile() function instead,
which also has the benefit of somewhat simplifying the code, since
there's no need to clean up the temporary file afterwards.
