The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is mostly a renaming exercise: functions that started with 'io_' in the Ledger Bitcoin app now start with 'ioe_' to avoid clashing with the operating system's own 'io_' functions. Alongside the rename, one small logic fix was made in the response-buffering code. Previously, when adding response data that was too large, the code could pass a negative length to a recursive call, which is unsafe. The new code computes how much space remains, copies only that amount, and then marks the response as too long. This is a defensive improvement, not an active vulnerability fix for a known exploit.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine hardening/refactoring commit. Review the new ioe_add_to_response bounds logic in isolation to confirm it matches the intended truncation behavior, and verify that all call sites were renamed consistently. No urgent security response is warranted absent additional context.

Security signals we found

01

Buffer-length calculation hardened in APDU response builder

02

Recursive response-append path removed

03

Potential negative-length size_t wraparound eliminated

04

API renamed to avoid namespace collision with OS io_* symbols
