Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Guava versions 1.0 to 31.1 create files in Java's default temporary directory in FileBackedOutputStream on Unix systems and Android Ice Cream Sandwich, so other users and apps on the machine with access to that directory can read them. Upgrade to 32.0.1, which maintainers recommend over 32.0.0 because 32.0.0 breaks some Windows functionality.
