Merge bitcoin#32924: test: add valid tx test with minimum-sized ECDSA signature (8 bytes DER-encoded)
5fa81e2 test: add valid tx test with minimum-sized ECDSA signature (8 bytes DER-encoded) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Currently in our tests, all ECDSA signatures passing verification have sizes of 69 bytes and above (that's the DER-encoded size, i.e. counted without the sighash flag byte) [1]. This PR adds test coverage for the minimum-sized valid case of 8 bytes, by taking an interesting testnet transaction that I stumbled upon:
https://mempool.space/testnet/tx/c6c232a36395fa338da458b86ff1327395a9afc28c5d2daa4273e410089fd433
Note that this is a very obscure construction that only works because the public key used isn't contained in the locking script, but calculated and provided later at spending time (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1729534.msg17309060#msg17309060 for an explainer), to match the message (sighash) and picked signature. So this doesn't represent a use-case that really makes sense in practice, but it can still appear in a block (not in mempool though, due to `SCRIPT_VERIFY_CONST_SCRIPTCODE`), and having test-coverage seems useful.
Can be tested with same patch below (tests crash with the condition `>= 9`, but pass with `>= 8`).
[1] this can be verified by applying the following patch and running the tests:
