Description

Summary The WebSocket transport allocates a buffer from the frame payload length before validating its size, which can lead to an unauthenticated DoS. Details `WSConnection.Read` allocates a buffer from the declared WebSocket frame length before reading the payload (https://github.com/emiago/sipgo/blob/v1.4.0/sip/transport_ws.go#L400): ```go data := make([]byte, header.Length) // header.Length is client-controlled, up to 2^63-1 (int64) ``` • `NextFrame()` reads only the frame header and never checks the length: `wsutil.NewReader` is created with no `MaxFrameSize` (`0` = unlimited). `ParseMaxMessageLength` applies only downstream, not here. • A value above the max slice size (e.g. `2^63-1`) panics `make`. sipgo does not recover from this panic, so it crashes the whole server process. PoC Tested on emiago/sipgo v1.4.0 (latest). After a normal WebSocket handshake, send one masked text frame consisting of the header only (no payload), declaring a huge length. The allocation runs as soon as the header is read. ``` 0x81 FIN + text opcode 0xFF MASK bit + length marker 127 (8-byte length follows) 0x7F FF FF FF FF FF FF FF declared length = 2^63-1 -> make panics (crash) (no payload) ``` This crashes the server process: ``` panic: runtime error: makeslice: len out of range goroutine 23 [running]: github.com/emiago/sipgo/sip.(*WSConnection).Read(...) /path/to/pkg/mod/github.com/emiago/[email protected]/sip/transport_ws.go:400 +0x2df github.com/emiago/sipgo/sip.(*TransportWS).readConnection(...) /path/to/pkg/mod/github.com/emiago/[email protected]/sip/transport_ws.go:194 +0x266 created by github.com/emiago/sipgo/sip.(*TransportWS).initConnection in goroutine 21 /path/to/pkg/mod/github.com/emiago/[email protected]/sip/transport_ws.go:167 +0x268 ``` Suggested Fix Set `MaxFrameSize` on the `wsutil.NewReader`. Impact Unauthenticated DoS. Any service using `sipgo` with a WS/WSS transport can be crashed by a single frame (panic), or forced to run out of memory.
