The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a Zcash transaction-checking bug in the Keystone 3 hardware wallet firmware. A maliciously crafted transaction could make an output look like the wallet's own change by using the wallet's internal viewing key, even though the money actually went to an attacker's address. The fix adds a check that any output decrypted with the internal key really belongs to the wallet, and adds a regression test that reproduces the attack scenario.

Recommended action

Treat this as a security fix and include it in the next firmware release. Review whether similar OVK/IVK confusion exists for Sapling outputs or other shielded protocols. Run the new regression test in CI and consider adding a test for the external-OVK case as well.
