This commit hardens how LND handles Lightning channel fee updates and mailbox message admission. It enforces the protocol rule that only the channel opener can send fee updates, prevents uncommitted fee updates from piling up in the update log, limits how many queued messages a peer can stuff into a channel's mailbox, and makes the link disconnect if the mailbox is full so messages are not silently dropped. These changes reduce ways a misbehaving or buggy peer could disrupt a channel or waste resources.

bolt12: add BIP-340 message signatures

SignMessage and VerifySignature wrap btcec's Schnorr API around the
Merkle root with the spec's tagged-hash domain separator. Typed
helpers bind the construction to invoice requests and invoices, so
callers sign and verify messages rather than raw roots.

The signed vectors in signature-test.json verify the construction
against the spec, and a tamper matrix pins rejection of modified
roots, signatures, keys, and tags.

AI analysis · Low 32/100

This commit fixes a small but real bug in LND's channel-funding code. When a funding request referred to a reservation that no longer existed, the code sent an error message but forgot to send the matching 'completion' signal. A caller waiting on both channels could hang or misbehave. The fix adds the missing completion signal and includes a regression test. There is no claim in the commit that this is a security issue, but incomplete error handling in wallet code can sometimes be abused to cause denial of service.

AI analysis · Moderate 57/100

This commit adds logic to LND's contract court so that when an incoming HTLC is claimed on-chain via a re-signed success transaction, the resolver correctly identifies which output of that transaction it should sweep next. Previously, the code may have relied on a fixed output index; now it checks the actual output at the same index as the HTLC input and verifies it matches the expected sweep descriptor. The change is defensive and includes tests, but the commit message frames it as fixing a real correctness issue that could affect fund recovery.

This update fixes two related problems in LND's cooperative channel-closing code. First, it eliminates a data race where the same state machine was being advanced by two different internal goroutines at once, which could cause crashes or inconsistent close negotiations. Second, it now always checks that the other party's payout address is well-formed and safe to pay, instead of only checking when an upfront shutdown address was already on file. Previously, a malformed or malicious address could slip through in some cases.

This commit tightens how LND processes invoice payments, especially for newer multi-path (MPP) and AMP invoices, keysend payments, and replayed payments. It adds checks that ensure the right payment preimage is used for each invoice type and that AMP invoices cannot be processed through the older legacy path. The changes are defensive hardening rather than a single obvious exploit fix, but they close several paths where an attacker might trick LND into settling an invoice incorrectly or using the wrong secret.

This commit tightens how LND handles invoice payment updates, especially for newer 'AMP' invoices and old-style 'keysend' payments. It adds checks so that the wrong kind of payment cannot be processed against the wrong kind of invoice, and it verifies that stored payment secrets actually match the expected hash. The changes are defensive: they reject mismatched or malformed payments instead of allowing them to proceed. The commit does not say it fixes a known exploit, but the new checks close paths where a payment might have been accepted incorrectly.

This commit only updates the release notes document for version 0.21.2. It adds a bullet point describing a previously merged code change about invoice handling and adds a contributor name to the credits list. No actual code was changed, so this commit itself does not fix or introduce any security issue.

Security candidatepeer+lnwallet/chancloser: advance the legacy closer from one goroutineby Olaoluwa Osuntokun · e5e134dd · Aug 4, 2026 · 4 filesMessage 88 · StrongModerate 60Details

peer+lnwallet/chancloser: advance the legacy closer from one goroutine

In this commit, we give the legacy ChanCloser a single owner, rather than
letting two goroutines advance it. The peer's channelManager drives the state
machine for the Shutdown and ClosingSigned messages that come off the wire, and
for local close requests. The link drives it as well: while we wait for the
channel to drain we register a flush hook, and the link invokes that hook from
its own goroutine, where it called BeginNegotiation directly. Nothing kept the
two apart, so the state field, the priorFeeOffers map, and the signing step
could all be touched at once. Under `go test -race` this shows up as a data race
on the state field.

Rather than reach for a lock, we route the flush through the channelManager. The
hook now only reports the channel ID over a new chanCloseFlushed channel, and
handleChanFlushed picks it up next to the close messages. Every transition, the
cached offer processing, the fee map, and the signing then happen on the one
goroutine, so the closer needs no synchronization of its own. We spell that out
on the type, since it's an invariant a new caller can break from the outside.

The report goes out from a fresh goroutine, which matters more than it looks.
The link may well be holding its own lock while it invokes the hook, and
channelManager reaches for that same lock in DisableAdds, so blocking on the
handoff would trade the race for a deadlock. The `go` in front of RemoveLink
just above it is there for the same reason.

We look the closer up with a plain map load rather than through
fetchActiveChanCloser, as that one builds a fresh closer when it doesn't find
an existing one, and a flush that lands after the negotiation was torn down has
no business starting a new negotiation.

One behavior change falls out of the move: the flush path now runs the same
finalization tail as the message path. It skipped that before, so a responder
that drained a cached offer would reach closeFinished and broadcast, but nothing
ran finalizeChanClosure until the next close message showed up, and having
already sent its final signature, there may not be one. The link == nil path
already ran the tail, so this makes all three paths agree.

The new test drives a close with a link that hands us the flush hook instead of
running it inline, so we can check that negotiation waits on the report, and
that a report for a channel we have no closer for is dropped.

This commit fixes a concurrency bug in how LND negotiates cooperative channel closures. Previously, two different goroutines could update the same channel-closing state machine at the same time, which could corrupt internal data or cause a crash. The fix routes all updates through a single goroutine and adds a test to confirm the behavior.
