Hi all

Over coffee we’ve been discussing the uniqueness and safety of call-id this 
morning.  Lots of things like RTPEngine recording use call-id to generate 
filenames (yes it does escape them first :-). Not to mention dialog tracking 
(also uses from/to tags) etc.

Which got us thinking.  As call-id is determined by the first SIP packet that 
normally comes from a UA, should we care if this UA was broken or worse 
malicious?  

What would happen if they were repeated?  For example we may struggle to 
determine a recordings owner in RTPEngine (file name format is 
callid+random.wav).

For security should we be rejecting requests where we’ve seen the call-id 
before?


All theoretical over coffee, as it was that or start working!

Just wondering what peoples thoughts were?

Cheers
Mark
