netfilter: nf_ct_sip: allow tab character in SIP headers
Current parsing methods for SIP headers do not allow the presence of tab characters between header name and header value. As a result Call-ID SIP headers like the following are discarded by IPVS SIP persistence engine: "Call-ID\t: mycallid@abcde" "Call-ID:\tmycallid@abcde" In above examples Call-IDs are represented as strings in C language. Obviously in real message we have byte "09" before/after colon (":"). Proposed fix is in nf_conntrack_sip module. Function sip_skip_whitespace() should skip tabs in addition to spaces, since in SIP grammar whitespace (WSP) corresponds to space or tab. Below is an extract of relevant SIP ABNF syntax. Call-ID = ( "Call-ID" / "i" ) HCOLON callid callid = word [ "@" word ] HCOLON = *( SP / HTAB ) ":" SWS SWS = [LWS] ; sep whitespace LWS = [*WSP CRLF] 1*WSP ; linear whitespace WSP = SP / HTAB word = 1*(alphanum / "-" / "." / "!" / "%" / "*" / "_" / "+" / "`" / "'" / "~" / "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / ":" / "\" / DQUOTE / "/" / "[" / "]" / "?" / "{" / "}" ) Signed-off-by: Marco Angaroni <marcoangaroni@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
