The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit fixes a bug in the Rust Trezor client library used to talk to Trezor hardware wallets. When signing a large Ethereum transaction, the device may ask the user to confirm by sending a 'button request' in the middle of streaming the transaction data. Previously, the client did not handle that mid-stream request, so the signing process could hang or fail. The fix wraps each streamed chunk's response with the existing interaction handler so button requests are processed correctly. A new example and a regression test for a 10 KB transaction are added.

Recommended action

Users of the rust trezor-client library should upgrade to a version containing this commit if they sign large Ethereum transactions. Application developers should ensure they use the updated interaction-handling path and run the new regression test against emulators.

Security signals we found

01

Denial-of-service / hang in client library during large Ethereum transaction signing

02

Missing handling of ButtonRequest inside a multi-message protocol flow

03

Regression test added for large (10 kB) Ethereum transaction signing

04

Fix pattern: wrap streamed response in existing interaction handler
