### Security Approval Request * **How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?**: * **Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem?**: Yes * **Which branches (beta, release, and/or ESR) are affected by this flaw, and do the release status flags reflect this affected/unaffected state correctly?**: All Branches * **If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw?**: None * **Do you have backports for the affected branches?**: No * **If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be?**: Patches are anticipated to apply with minimal effort to older branches. * **How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need?**: Low chance of regression, but high impact if a regression occurs. Given this relates to the updater and we could be in a better place with respect to testing, this should receive QA attention before shipping. * **Is the patch ready to land after security approval is given?**: Yes * **Is Android affected?**: No

### Security Approval Request * **How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?**: Given the small size of the patch, someone familiar with the hazard could likely reason about it quickly. * **Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem?**: Yes * **Which branches (beta, release, and/or ESR) are affected by this flaw, and do the release status flags reflect this affected/unaffected state correctly?**: All Branches * **If not all supported branches, which bug introduced the flaw?**: None * **Do you have backports for the affected branches?**: No * **If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be?**: Patches are anticipated to apply with minimal effort to older branches. * **How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need?**: Low chance of regression, but high impact if a regression occurs.
