When you use mktemp, you have to use two operations:
1/Create a file name with mktemp
2/Open it
An attacker could create a symlink with this name file between these
two operations, thus the file would be erased.
mkstemp guarantees these two operations to be done atomically by the
kernel (and the kernel chooses a name corresponding to an unused file
name), so the race condition does not work in that case; the file
descriptor is guaranteed to always correspond to a new file.
