[OpenSIPS-Users] Preventing invalid packet parsing

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi,

Well, if the "message" got to the script level, it means is "looks" like 
a SIP message - to reach the script, the message must have a SIP valid 
first line and Top most VIA.

So, if your "bogus" messages do not have anything to do with SIP, 
considering actions at script level is a non sense as it is too late. 
What you can do is to rely on the size of the package in order to drop 
it (by default, OpenSIPS drops any UDP packet shorter than 20 bytes - 
see MIN_UDP_PACKET in config.h). You can change that value to match your 
needs. And recompile.

IF the incoming traffic looks like SIP packages (and it lands in your 
script), you should use the sipmsg_validate() to get ready of it asap. 
It is not about processing, it is more about avoid polluting the logs 
with errors :)
