I have a fix for the TZ crasher (bug 17715).  I would like to get the 
full fix into 2.21, but it's not really a blocker because I probably 
have to split it into a minimal fix for backporting, plus a separate 
patch with additional hardening anyway.  (The minimal patch being 
acceptable even post-freeze.)

I hope to submit the patch ASAP, but I'm not sure I can make it this 
week, and it might be somewhat controversial.
