The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a code cleanup in the Trezor firmware's secure USB/Bluetooth transport layer (Trezor THP). It replaces a single shared buffer used during the cryptographic handshake with two separate buffers: one for messages being sent and one for messages being received. The change makes the code easier to reason about and removes some awkward buffer resizing and zeroing patterns, but it does not appear to fix any active security bug. There is no mention of a vulnerability, CVE, or security issue in the commit itself.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as a normal code-quality refactor. If auditing, verify that the new send/receive buffers are correctly zeroed after use and that no stale handshake data remains in either buffer; the diff shows prepare_zeroed is still used but review whether all sensitive lifetimes are covered.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor only: no new security boundary or cryptographic primitive introduced

02

Buffer handling change: single shared buffer split into dedicated send/receive buffers

03

No explicit security relevance, CVE, or vulnerability disclosure in commit message or diff

04

No new input validation, length checks, or mitigations added beyond existing error paths
