Why does hash join use TEMP tablespace?

I have a query that's doing an outter hash join and fails with "ORA-1652: unable to extent temp segment by 1280 in tablespace TEMP". Why would a query that shows no sorts in the explain plan need to use the temp tablespace?

Here's the query and explain plan.

select
  v.*, p.person_org_id
from
  person p, testload.vince_temp v
where
  v.user_id = p.user_id(+)

SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=16686 Card=505507962 Bytes=61166463402)   HASH JOIN (OUTER) (Cost=16686 Card=505507962 Bytes=61166463402)     TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF VINCE_TEMP (Cost=8031 Card=4321689 Bytes=432168900)     TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF PERSON (Cost=32 Card=11697 Bytes=245637)
