The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates a helper library (libmultiprocess) used by Bitcoin Core. The only code change replaces a raw memory copy with a safer standard-library copy in a routine that converts byte arrays for inter-process communication. The rest is version bookkeeping and new test coverage. There is no indication this fixes an active security vulnerability; it is a defensive cleanup to silence an undefined-behavior sanitizer warning.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine dependency/subtree update. Review the upstream libmultiprocess PR #305 for the exact UBSan context, but no immediate security response is warranted based on this commit alone. Include in normal build/test validation.

Security signals we found

01

Replacement of memcpy with std::ranges::copy in byte-buffer serialization path

02

Commit message references a UBSan warning, suggesting prior undefined-behavior exposure during sanitiser builds

03

New regression tests for Data and std::map serialization round-trips

04

No vendor disclosure of security relevance or CVE linkage in commit or references
