No, coming up with a plausible public bug is not something we do. We don't know what else you might be working on in a related area (if anything!) that could obfuscate this, or what plausible non-security explanation that could explain this changes in a separate clean-up type bug.

And then when you uplift it to ESR the jig is up anyway.

What's your holiday work schedule? I don't know what Tom had in mind for a cover bug, and I don't know at all what sandbox work is in-flight, so I'm inclined to say just land it as late as possible (before the Jan 2 soft freeze), uplift everywhere, and hope that's a short enough window.

What kind of commit message are you going to use? Looks like "Move shared memory duplication after initialization" which says "we're using an uninitialized copy". Could you change it to something else, maybe something misdirectional like "Don't waste time duplicating memory if we're just going to error out; do all other error checks first."
