[New-bugs-announce] [issue23868] Uninitialized objects are tracked by the garbage collector

[Hristo Venev]

New submission from Hristo Venev:

An object starts being tracked by the GC after being allocated, but before being initialized. If during initialization the GC runs, this may lead to tp_traverse being called on an uninitialized object.
