The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This Monero wallet update adds safety checks when a wallet imports 'multisig_info' data shared between co-signers in a multi-signature wallet. It now rejects files where the declared signer doesn't match the file header, or where the number of partial key images or signing nonces is wrong. These checks prevent malformed or mismatched multisig data from being processed further. The change includes new unit tests that confirm the rejections work.

Recommended action

Treat as a defensive hardening patch for the multisig import path. Reviewers should confirm the expected-count formulas match all supported M-of-N configurations and that the new exceptions do not break legitimate exports. Consider whether additional malformed cases (e.g., duplicate signers, empty blobs, invalid magic/version) need similar checks.
