Hi All.
I see this line in config.h
#define MIN_UDP_PACKET 32
Does this mean that ser happily drops all UDP traffic with a size less than
32?
If so, it would seem that SER proxies on the internet have an exposure
to DoS attacks because someone could set 16-byte UDP packets to ser
and therefore cause problems.
Is this correct?
counter question: what would happen if SER would parse the 16 bytes UDP
packets instead of dropping them?
=> It get even worse.
(Note I do NOT know if packets below that size are dropped.)
I guess your are not able to build a valid SIP request or reply with less then
32 bytes. So I assume that this limit is just a protection e.g. against
clients which do the NAT ping (empty UDP packet) in the direction from client
to the server.
