The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit tightens a safety check in the Trezor hardware wallet's user-interface code. It makes sure that a small on-screen menu component can hold at least as many items as the firmware might ever ask it to display, preventing a capacity mismatch that could crash the device when a user is choosing recovery-seed word counts or similar options. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this crash was exploitable to steal funds or bypass security.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/defensive fix. Review whether `MAX_MENU_ITEMS` is ever set to 6 in production firmware and confirm the assertion fires at compile time for all build configurations. No urgent user action is indicated by the commit itself.

Security signals we found

01

Capacity mismatch between menu-item source limit and UI component storage could cause a runtime panic (denial-of-service on device)

02

Compile-time assertion added to enforce invariant between MAX_MENU_ITEMS and SimpleChoice capacity

03

Magic number 5 replaced by exported named constant to reduce future drift

04

Change is marked [no changelog] and contains no security disclosure language
