I mean, it's neither my bug nor did I detect it, I just fixed it. :)
If you would like this to be a CVE then sure go ahead.

(I don't understand the rules around this well enough tbh. For example,
during the last merge window there were at least 3 or 4 NULL pointer
derefs or UAFs in newly added but already released code. Should all of
these get a CVE without a working exploit?)
