The documentation for mongoc_collection_validate says:

reply [an argument] is always initialized and must be destroyed with bson_destroy().

(see https://api.mongodb.com/c/current/mongoc_collection_validate.html)

The implementation doesn't always initialize reply. In particular, if the options passed are invalid, then reply is left alone, which means if a client tries to bson_destroy() it, they might end up accessing uninitialized memory.

I think this is like a one-line fix, but there might be bugs just like this one all over
