I like /tmp in RAM myself, it's truly temporary that way

EDIT: I do this more for avoiding certain disk reads/writes than security actually

The /tmp in RAM does not address any of the vulnerabilities unfortunately.

No not really. These are there for long running jobs. Reboot clean up of tmp is not an issue.
