3.8 is in security-fix-only mode; adjusting the backport labels. |

Yes, this showed up for me because I introduced a new path that, for exponent 1 and no modulus, invoked REDUCE but not MULT. Without a modulus, REDUCE didn't overwrite |

This PR fixes a reference counting bug introduced in #13266 and identified by @tim-one in #26662: if we don't set
temptoNULL, and if the value it has at this point is retained until the end of the function, then we end up doing an extra decref. I spent some time trying to identify a test-case that exercises this bug, and failed - I couldn't find a code path wheretempisn't re-used at some point. Nevertheless, it's a potential point of fragility for maintenance of this code.https://bugs.python.org/issue36027
