The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in Trezor's Rust transport layer. It changes how incoming packets are inspected before being forwarded to the right channel, adding a buffer-size hint so the caller can allocate a large enough receive buffer. The change also tightens validation: codec v1 packets are now explicitly ignored on the host side, and payload lengths are checked against maximum and minimum limits. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security bug, but it removes a small class of potential issues where a caller might receive a packet without knowing how much buffer space is needed.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine defensive refactor. Review that all callers of `PacketInResult::Route` respect the new `buffer_size` hint and allocate receive buffers accordingly. No urgent security action is indicated by the commit alone.

Security signals we found

01

New buffer-size hint in routing result may prevent undersized receive buffers

02

Host-side codec v1 packets are now explicitly ignored rather than routed

03

Payload length bounds checks are centralized and applied earlier in routing

04

Channel ID validation is preserved and still applied before routing

05

Refactor only; no explicit vulnerability or incident described
