Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-17602:
-----------------------------------------
There's about 40 uses of TemporaryFolder in the project test suites, so yes, we
should upgrade.
it's only a security issue if
* test writes sensitive data
* host is multiuser
* tests run with java.io.tmpdir set to the default of /tmp. Doesn't look like
our builds change this value.
So: enough risk the update is justified, especially as this is a test JAR
update only
