Hi,
I was going through some old company tickets that I am assigned to and
found a case when possibly an attacker flooded our kamailio server with
invalid sip messages like this:
2019-04-27T20:14:05.533554+09:00 IPX051
/usr/local/src/git/sip-router/kamailio[1732]: ERROR: <core>
[parser/msg_parser.c:714]: ERROR: parse_msg:
message=<[F#016sD#026Z<8D>97<F8><B5>;<A9><E7>-<D2>(<E2><F6>

At that time we manually banned the IP.
But it would be helpful to have this done automatically by fail2ban.
So I was thinking this log should include the src IP address.
I looked at the latest kamailio commit and core/parser/msg_parser.c does
this log the same way so I was thinking in opening an issue for this.
But maybe this should be dealt with differently.
Any ideas?

Hi !
you might want to check this APIBAN - Block Bad SIP Traffic
<https://apiban.org/>
Fred Posner is the one to blame for this fantastic tool :)

+1 for APIBAN- its so good for this exact use case.
In the short term you can use something like pike module with some logic to
look for any special characters and block them in a htable and just drop
the traffic whilst you figure APIBAN out though.
Thanks,
John.

Indeed, core:receive-parse-error combined with sanity_check is what I
needed.
Thank you.

All,
thanks for the suggestions.
APIBAN looks fine but still there is the risk of packets from an unknown IP
to hit the server.
So I was thinking in patching the parser code to log the src IP in case of
error but when I tested sending an invalid message against latest kamailio
I got this in the logs:
2024-10-25T07:30:56.968878+09:00 lab225012
/usr/local/src/git/kamailio-5.8/kamailio[1404214]: ERROR: <core>

/usr/local/src/git/kamailio-5.8/kamailio[1404214]: ERROR: <core>
[core/receive.c:378]: receive_msg(): core parsing of SIP message failed (
10.0.0.1:57005/1)
So the function parse_msg itself will not log the src IP but the subsequent
ERROR log line from function receive_msg will have it (ip 10.0.0.1) and
will also include the port (57005).
So nothing needs to be done as fail2ban can get the ip with the proper
filter definition.
However there is at least one other scenario.
I removed the header Call-ID from a valid SIP message and when I sent it I
got just this:
2024-10-25T07:41:16.825827+09:00 lab225012
/usr/local/src/git/kamailio-5.8/kamailio[1404217]: ERROR: <core>
[core/receive.c:450]: receive_msg(): required headers not found in request
So I could not get the src IP. So am thinking in patching this.
However, meanwhile it seems I can handle this kind of situation generically
by using:
