Hi

We've seen a few occurrences of this crash since we implemented kamailio 5.4.5 for our inbound call traffic. Preceding the crash we always get a message in the logs about "dialog [dlg_hash.c:1182]: next_state_dlg(): bogus event 2 in state 5 for dlg" and whenever we see that message, we get the crash.

Jun  1 10:12:14 thissystem /usr/sbin/kamailio[20001]: CRITICAL: {2 1 INVITE 6787142-3831531134-1330894187@some.telco.domain} dialog [dlg_hash.c:1182]: next_state_dlg(): bogus event 2 in state 5 for dlg 0x7fae153d3cf0 [3973:6059] with clid '82608924-3831089984-1833452161@some.telco.domain' and tags '3831089984-684203260' ''

The crash happens on line 879 of https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/src/modules/dialog/dlg_db_handler.c

SET_STR_VALUE(values+7, cell->bind_addr[DLG_CALLER_LEG]->sock_str);

Looking at gdb, I see that cell->bind_addr[DLG_CALLER_LEG] == 0 so trying to use it results in the segfault. I have thought about patching that to check for bind_addr being set and bypassing that line if not but I do not think it's the right fix though it probably would avoid the current crash (and do odd things later instead!). I did check that everything else in that function that uses DLG_CALLER_LEG is set correctly and it appears that it is - or at least if not correctly then they are at least set!

The "bogus event 2 in state 5" message is coming out from line 1143 in src/modules/ims_dialog/dlg_hash.c

        case DLG_EVENT_RPL1xx:
            switch (dlg->state) {
                case DLG_STATE_UNCONFIRMED:
                case DLG_STATE_EARLY:
                    dlg->state = DLG_STATE_EARLY;
                    break;
                default:
                    log_next_state_dlg(event, dlg);
            }
            break;

(I didn't really understand why it would set dlg->state = DLG_STATE_EARLY if it's already DLG_STATE_EARLY but...)

I have a couple of core dumps of this from the last day or two - usually seems to crash at least once a week on our pair of kamailio inbound servers. If there's any more info I can provide to help fix this properly rather than my proposed bodge then feel free to ask.
