What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how Trezor firmware parses Ethereum 'clear signing' data so that tuple/struct fields can themselves contain nested tuples or arrays, instead of only simple leaf values. The change removes a previous restriction and updates the parser to walk nested structures correctly. It also removes an old safety guard that rejected empty tuples, though the code still rejects them elsewhere. The commit is described as a feature, not a security fix, but the prior code's leaf-only limitation could have caused mis-parsing of legitimate nested ABI structures, and the old empty-tuple guard was explicitly motivated by preventing an unbounded parse loop.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/feature patch rather than an active vulnerability fix. Review that empty tuple rejection remains robust in all code paths (including future callers that might instantiate `Tuple` directly), and verify that recursive parsing of deeply nested or maliciously crafted ABI payloads has adequate bounds checks and cannot be driven into stack exhaustion or unbounded loops by attacker-controlled length/pointer words.

Security signals we found

01

Parser now supports nested tuples and arrays, reducing risk of mis-parsing valid ABI payloads that were previously unsupported

02

Old empty-tuple guard comment that cited prevention of unbounded parse loop was removed; rejection still occurs via other paths

03

Tuple field size calculation changed from fixed word stride to sum of field head sizes, fixing incorrect offsets for nested static structs

04

Dynamic tuple offsets are now resolved recursively relative to enclosing body start, fixing nested dynamic struct parsing

05

No changelog entry and no explicit security framing in commit message
