Re: [reSIProcate] [patch] possible DoS with REFER Event: header

[Aron Rosenberg <arosenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like this patch never got applied.

After reviewing it, I might make DUM a little more tolerant and just ignore the bad header instead of rejecting the request. Something like

if (request.exists(h_Event))

    request.remove(h_Event);

right before you call makeServerSubscription, but RFC 3515 says nothing about an Event header in a REFER message being allowed or dis-allowed, so I would err on the side of caution.

Hi,

When DUM receives a REFER with and "Event:" header, it will use the value
provided by the client (see BaseSubscription.cxx:22), and later it will cause
an assert() in ServerSubscription.cxx:208.
The attached patch fixes this and reject such request with 489.
