Just to give proper details about the issue ...
It is not that any 30x response sent by anyone was causing a crash, only
those received in a transaction and handled via get_redirects(), with an
empty URI in Contact header. That means an authenticated/trusted
endpoint has to be involved in such a call. The code causing it is also
quite old (might be close to 10 years now).
So there is no risk of being hit by malicious/unknown attackers from the
wild.
Cheers,
Daniel

Friends,
I think today's issue with a 302 message sent to kamailio causing a crash is a
security issue. It was dealt with swiftly, but I feel we need a more formal procedure for
handling it, producing patches and releasing security information.
I've made a quick proposal that outlines a few simple things and policys. We should
make it too complex, but I feel it's important for all our users that a project has
some procedure on how to handle situations like this.
Please check the proposal in the dev meeting agenda and let's discuss it in the dev
meeting.
