Support musig in multi_a key expressions
musig() is deliberately rejected in sortedmulti_a, where sorting the keys would require recomputing each aggregate key once per position; doc/musig.md now documents that.
Also update some imprecisions in the documentation about MAX_PUBKEYS_PER_MUSIG.
Add positive tests for musig in multi_a, and rejection test for musig in sortedmulti_a (where sorting makes things more complicated).
The cleartext module makes sure that $keys only matches plain keys, and not musig-aggregate keys.

This commit adds support for using MuSig multi-signature key groups inside taproot multi_a wallet policies on Ledger devices, while deliberately blocking them in sortedmulti_a. It also fixes a subtle parsing bug: previously, key expressions inside multi_a/sortedmulti_a were allocated one-by-one in a memory buffer, which would interleave badly with MuSig's own allocations and corrupt the in-memory layout. The new code parses all the keys into a temporary stack array first, then copies them into one contiguous allocation. Separately, the 'cleartext' human-readable display module now refuses to classify multisig patterns that contain musig keys, so the device falls back to showing the raw descriptor instead of potentially misleading text (for example, showing 'any 1 of two keys' for a musig that actually requires both).

This commit hardens Ledger's Bitcoin app so that when it asks the host computer for Merkle-tree data and the request fails or the data is rejected, the memory buffer that was supposed to receive the data is wiped clean with zeros. Before the change, an attacker-controlled host could leave chosen bytes in that buffer even after the app decided the data was invalid. The patch is a defense-in-depth measure; it does not by itself fix a known exploitable bug, but it removes a class of subtle mistakes where later code might accidentally trust leftover hostile data.

This commit only adds a new automated test, plus screen snapshots used by that test. The test checks that after signing a Bitcoin transaction (PSBT), then signing a text message, the device does not accidentally reuse leftover display settings from the previous operation. The commit message says the test would have failed on an older version of the app, implying a prior UI bug existed. However, this commit itself does not change the app code, so it is not a fix and cannot be directly exploited. It is a regression test that documents a previous display-state issue.

This commit is a hardening and refactor of the code that reads PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) fields from a host computer into a Ledger hardware wallet. The core security fix is that the device now clearly distinguishes between a field that is genuinely missing in a PSBT map and a field that is present but malformed or failed to verify. Previously, both cases could return the same error code, which could trick the wallet into silently using a default value (for example, default nSequence or default locktime) when the host had actually committed to something else. The commit also adds a guard that refuses to look up values by key unless the map's keys have already been proven to be sorted and unique, preventing a malicious host from supplying two different values for the same key.

This commit fixes a security hygiene issue in Ledger's Bitcoin app when reading PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transaction) data fields. Previously, if a field was missing or malformed, the memory buffer meant to hold the field value could be left containing leftover or partially written data controlled by the host/device communicating with the Ledger. The change ensures the buffer is explicitly wiped to zero and its reported length is reset in those failure cases, so callers cannot accidentally use stale or incorrect data. The commit message itself states this avoids leaving 'host-controlled bytes in memory in cases of failure.'

This commit is a small follow-up cleanup to a previous pull request. It adds one safety step before validating a sorted key map, clarifies documentation about when missing map keys can be trusted, updates a copyright year, tightens a size check on a Bitcoin transaction field, and removes an oversized temporary buffer. The changes look like defensive hardening rather than a fix for an active bug, and the commit message gives no security context.

This commit changes how on-screen text labels are prepared on Ledger's newer Bitcoin app interface. Previously, only the text fields were updated, leaving other hidden struct fields carrying whatever values were left over from earlier screens. The patch now resets the entire struct each time, preventing stale hidden settings (like centered layout flags or icons) from leaking between different app screens. The risk is mainly that a leftover flag could subtly alter what the user sees or how a confirmation page is rendered, potentially confusing a user at the moment they approve a transaction.

Replace the wallet policy AST relative pointers with native pointers
Relative pointers saved some RAM, but added a significant amount of code complexity - which is no longer a good tradeoff for devices post Nano S.
The "N bytes" comments on the node structures were wrong even before this change: policy_node_s::flags is a struct of unsigned int bitfields, hence 4 bytes rather than 1, which made every node 6 bytes larger than advertised. They are now the measured sizes for the 32-bit devices.
src/common/cleartext_match.c is generated, so the accessors are rewritten in specs/bip388/gen.py and the file regenerated.
Also adds an assertion for an implicitly used invariant: multi() and friends allocate their key expressions one at a time but index them as an array, which only works if sizeof(policy_node_keyexpr_t) is a multiple of the alignment buffer_alloc() pads to.

This commit is a code cleanup in Ledger's Bitcoin app. It replaces a memory-saving 'relative pointer' scheme with ordinary C pointers in the wallet-policy data structures. The change removes several hundred lines of pointer-conversion code and adds one compile-time check to make sure key-expression structures stay properly aligned when allocated back-to-back. There is no direct evidence in the commit that it fixes an active security bug; it reads as a maintainability/refactoring change to reduce complexity on newer Ledger devices that have more RAM.

Enlarge the buffers holding the parsed wallet policy
Preparing to rebuild the abstract syntax tree of a wallet policy with native pointers, which will increase its size.
Measured over the largest policies of the test suite, the tree grows by up to about 1.3x on the 32-bit devices, and up to about 2.2x in the 64-bit unit test builds; the growth is bounded by 1.5x and 3x respectively, which are the growth factors of policy_node_tree_t, the largest of any node type.
Therefore, we make MAX_WALLET_POLICY_BYTES scales with the size of a pointer, rather than declaring a separate constant for unit tests.
Because Nano X has significantly less memory, we keep the maximum size smaller, which incurs some risk of certain very complex policies no longer fitting in memory. It should still be rare in practice.

This commit fixes a bug in Ledger's Bitcoin app where malformed PSBT data could silently be treated as if it were missing. Specifically, if the 'nSequence' or 'fallback locktime' fields were present but unreadable (wrong length or bad proof), the app previously substituted default values and continued signing. Now it correctly rejects such malformed inputs. This prevents a malicious or buggy wallet client from getting the device to sign a transaction using sequence or locktime values the client never actually committed to.

Add typed accessors for the PSBT fields read while signing
Accessing PSBT fields needed raw validation at the caller's site, which ends up mixing the PSBT validation logic with the actual signing logic.
Introduce sign_psbt/psbt_fields.{c,h}, where each accessor owns the structural validation of exactly one field and returns a typed value.
Every accessor returns a tri-state psbt_field_status_t, so that a caller can always tell a field that is not in the map from one that could not be read. The length policy of each field - an exact size, or a maximum - lives here rather than next to call_get_merkleized_map_value.
Note the accessors return an enum whose ERROR value is -1, which is truthy. Therefore, every one of the 26 call sites compares against PSBT_FIELD_PRESENT explicitly.
This is a pure refactor: no behavioral change. In particular the two optional fields keep the exact defaulting policy they had before, which is deliberately left alone here and fixed in the next commit: - the four nSequence reads in txhashes.c fall back to 0xFFFFFFFF on any non-PRESENT status, as they did on any failed read before; - psbt_get_global_fallback_locktime keeps its 9-byte varint buffer and reports every read failure as ABSENT, yielding locktime 0. Both are marked as such in the accessor docs.
The three unit tests covering the removed u32 wrapper are dropped, as they are subsumed by a test added here against the real accessor. The two remaining tests in test_get_merkleized_map_value.c now assert the named statuses.
Unit tests are added for the new accessors.

Commit message · Salvatore Ingala
Report a missing map key distinctly from a failed lookup
Reading a value by key out of a merkleized map has two outcomes that callers must tell apart: the key is genuinely not in the map (normal for every optional PSBT field), or the lookup failed (Merkle proof mismatch, malformed client response, transport error).
Previously, the API collapsed both into a single negative return, so a caller applying a default for an optional field would also apply it after a proof failure, swallowing what should logically be an error.
The shared contract lives in the new map_value_status.h, which also documents that MAP_VALUE_ABSENT is a client assertion and not a proof: the device requests no proof of absence, so a suppressed key is indistinguishable from an honest omission. Where soundness is required, presence must be derived from the key enumeration performed while validating the map, which is committed to by keys_root.
No caller behaviour changes here: every current caller tests `< 0`, which stays correct. Three tests that pinned the old granular codes now assert the named ones, and the not-found test is strengthened from `< 0` to MERKLE_LEAF_NOT_FOUND.

This commit fixes a design bug in how the Ledger Bitcoin app asks a connected computer for data stored in a cryptographic map (used for PSBT transaction fields). Previously, 'key genuinely missing' and 'lookup failed due to a bad proof or communication error' were reported the same way. That meant the app could silently apply a default value when it should have rejected a faulty response. The patch separates the two cases so future callers can tell them apart, though existing callers still use the old '< 0' check and are not changed here. The commit also documents that 'missing key' is only what the host claims, not a cryptographic proof.

Commit message · Salvatore Ingala
Enforce the sorted-keys precondition for by-key map reads
Reading a value out of a merkleized map by key is only sound once the keys tree has been verified to be lexicographically sorted, and hence that the keys are unique; otherwise a malicious client could equivocate on the value committed to by a given key. So far this was a documented convention, whose enforcement was expected from the callers
Instead, here we track the invariant in the commitment itself, via a new private _keys_are_sorted member of merkleized_map_commitment_t. call_get_merkleized_map[_with_callback] and the new call_check_merkleized_map_sorted set this field on success.
All the readers by key, like call_get_merkleized_map_value, call_get_merkleized_map_value, and the streaming versions) will now fail explicitly if the _keys_are_sorted sentinel is not set.
The member is documented as private and named with a conventional _; callers must neither read nor set it.

This commit hardens a Ledger Bitcoin app security check. Previously, reading a value from a special data structure (a 'merkleized map') by key required the caller to first verify that all keys were sorted and unique; that was only a documented rule, not enforced. A malicious host could potentially trick the app into reading the wrong value for a key if the rule was skipped. The patch now tracks a 'keys are sorted' flag inside the map commitment itself and makes all by-key readers fail (via an internal assertion) if that flag is not set. It also adds a helper to validate maps that come directly from the APDU command (like the PSBT global map).

This commit fixes several low-level programming bugs in Ledger's Bitcoin app that were found by automated fuzzing. The bugs include a dangerous bit shift, a pointless memory move with zero bytes, and incorrect comparisons between signed and unsigned numbers when parsing transaction data and signing PSBTs. Most fixes are defensive hardening, but one change moves a sanity check earlier so the app rejects absurdly large input amounts before adding them up, which could prevent an overflow. The commit does not claim these are directly exploitable attacks, but they remove undefined behavior that could in theory lead to crashes or incorrect signing.

This commit tightens validation of a Bitcoin transaction signing field. The Ledger app previously accepted any non-error value when reading the PSBT_IN_PREVIOUS_TXID field, even if it was shorter or longer than the required 32 bytes. Now it rejects any length other than exactly 32 bytes. An incorrect txid length could let a malformed or malicious PSBT misrepresent which previous transaction is being spent, potentially leading to signing the wrong transaction data.

This commit fixes three places in the Ledger Bitcoin app's MuSig2 code where the result of an elliptic-curve point-addition operation was not checked for failure. If point_add fails (for example, because it produced the special 'point at infinity' or another error condition), the code previously continued using an invalid public key or nonce. The patch now aborts the signing operation and returns an error. It also corrects a debug-print index that was off by one and makes a type conversion explicit.

This commit fixes a small but meaningful bug in the Ledger Bitcoin app's code that handles advanced multi-signature (MuSig) operations. A function called crypto_tr_lift_x can fail when given an invalid x-coordinate that does not correspond to any real point on the Bitcoin elliptic curve. Previously, the cpoint function ignored that failure and kept using the resulting output as if it were valid. The patch now checks the return value, prints an error message, and returns an error code instead of continuing with potentially bad data. In a hardware wallet, using invalid curve points could in theory lead to incorrect signature calculations or unexpected behavior, though the practical exploit path is not fully clear from the diff alone.

This update fixes a stack-exhaustion weakness in Ledger's Bitcoin app. A malicious or unusually crafted wallet policy (the text string that describes how coins can be spent) could make the app recurse so deeply that it runs out of call stack and crashes. The patch adds depth limits during parsing, reduces large on-stack buffers, and moves big buffers out of recursive functions so the app rejects oversized policies safely instead of crashing.

Reduce the stack frame of key_orderings_count
The memory occupation of key_orderings_count was quadratic in CT_MAX_KEYEXPRS.
A more careful rewrite only require linear memory, saving several kb of RAM.
More saving comes from narrowed some types to smaller integers.

This commit rewrites a function in the Ledger Bitcoin app to use less memory. The old code stored a large table of key-derivation pairs for every possible class of key expression, which grew quadratically with the maximum number of key expressions. The new code stores only the class assignment for each key expression and rebuilds the pair list one class at a time, cutting stack usage by several kilobytes. The change also narrows some integer types. There is no explicit security bug fixed in the commit message, but on memory-constrained hardware large stack frames can contribute to crashes or stack overflows.

Move the wallet confirmation stage out of the handler's frame
By not inlining the called functions, the memory occupation can be substantially improved, as a lot of the data used during validation are no longer needed during rendering and UI.

This commit refactors the Ledger Bitcoin app's wallet registration code so that the user-confirmation step runs in a separate function that the compiler is told not to inline. The stated goal is to reduce peak stack memory use by freeing large validation buffers before the UI rendering phase. The change itself is a defensive hardening/optimization patch; there is no direct evidence in the commit that it fixes an exploitable vulnerability.
