Ken,

An insecure usage of /tmp has been reported in mktexlsr:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/texlive.git/plain/texlive-bz979176.patch

This was discussed upstream starting at

  http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/tlbuild/2015q1/003104.html

and it was decided *not* to apply this patch to TeX Live 2015. After reading the discussion, however, I've decided to apply the patch to the Cygwin build. I expect to release this around July 1, right after perl-5.22 is released. (I'm delaying in order to avoid hassles with biber.)
