primitives: Simplify and optimize witness decoder

This commit fixes a denial-of-service (DoS) weakness in how the rust-bitcoin library decodes Bitcoin transaction witness data. Previously, an attacker could send only about 10 bytes of data and trick the decoder into reserving 16 MB of mem…

bitcoin: reject 65 bytes signature with sighash 0x00

This commit fixes a bug where the Rust Bitcoin library incorrectly accepted 65-byte Taproot signatures whose final byte was 0x00. Under Bitcoin's BIP-341 rules, such signatures are invalid. Accepting them could let invalid transactions or …

primitives: reject txs with output sum > MAX_MONEY

This commit adds a safety check in the rust-bitcoin library so that when a Bitcoin transaction is being decoded, the total value of all its outputs is rejected if it exceeds the protocol's maximum allowed money supply (MAX_MONEY). This pre…

New validation rule: total output value must not exceed MAX_MONEYExplicit reference to CVE-2010-5139 in code commentUse of saturating_add to avoid integer overflow during accumulation

primitives: reject transaction with duplicate inputs

This commit adds a safety check in the rust-bitcoin library so that when a Bitcoin transaction is being decoded, it is rejected if it tries to spend the same coin twice within the same transaction. This prevents a known bug class (CVE-2018…

docs: clarify BIP34 rules and fix related test

This commit is a documentation and test fix, not a security patch. It adds a comment explaining that an 'empty coinbase' helper produces a 0-byte scriptSig that is technically invalid under Bitcoin consensus rules (which require 2-100 byte…

consensus_encoding: implement batched allocation for VecDecoder and `ByteVecDecoder`

This commit fixes a denial-of-service weakness in how the library reads length-prefixed byte and element lists from untrusted data. Previously, the library would reserve up to 4 million bytes or elements immediately after seeing a length n…

Standardize BIP notation to BIP-XXXX

This commit is a pure documentation and comment cleanup. It changes how Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) numbers are written throughout the codebase from inconsistent styles like 'BIP32', 'BIP 341', and 'BIP-32' to a uniform 'BIP-XXXX' f…

bitcoin: remove `From<Message>` for `TapSighash`

This commit removes a convenience conversion that let developers accidentally treat a Taproot transaction digest as an ECDSA-style message. It is a defensive API cleanup: it makes the library's types more precise so users cannot pass a Tap…

API misuse prevention: removes conversion of Taproot sighash into ECDSA-specific Message typeType narrowing: TapSighash no longer implements From<Message>All Taproot signing call sites now pass raw 32-byte sighash to Schnorr signing functions
