The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This firmware update fixes a memory leak and cleans up boot-update logic in a hardware crypto wallet. The most concrete security-relevant change is adding a missing SRAM_FREE(buffer) call in BinarySearchBootHead, which prevents a small memory allocation from never being released. Other changes replace hardcoded 4096-byte values with a SECTOR_SIZE constant and remove a production-only conditional around NeedUpdateBoot. The commit message mentions 'fix memory allocation' but does not frame the change as a security fix.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine maintenance/fix patch. Review the boot update path for additional missing resource frees and verify that removing the BUILD_PRODUCTION guard does not enable unintended boot updates in non-production builds. No urgent security response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Memory leak fix: SRAM_FREE(buffer) added in BinarySearchBootHead success path

02

Type/size consistency: replaced literal 4096 with SECTOR_SIZE in boot update flash operations

03

Logic simplification: removed BUILD_PRODUCTION conditional guarding NeedUpdateBoot

04

Heap size reduction: configTOTAL_HEAP_SIZE decreased by 10 KiB

05

Return value correction: UpdateBootFromFlash returns -1 instead of false for int32_t return type
