Description

I propose to change the type of Decode* function (and other decoding functions as well). It could then return an error if the decoding is not correct (let's say SC_ERR).

Then we could do in DecodeTeredo and other functions:

    if (IP_GET_RAW_VER(start) == 6) {
         IPV6Hdr *thdr = (IPV6Hdr *)start;
         if (len ==  IPV6_HEADER_LEN +
                 IPV6_GET_RAW_PLEN(thdr) + (start - pkt)) {
             if (pq != NULL) {
                 int blen = len - (start - pkt);
                 /* spawn off tunnel packet */
                 Packet *tp = PacketPseudoPktSetup(p, start, blen,
                                                   IPPROTO_IPV6);
                 if (tp != NULL) {
                     PKT_SET_SRC(tp, PKT_SRC_DECODER_TEREDO);
                     /* send that to the Tunnel decoder */
                     ret = DecodeTunnel(tv, dtv, tp, GET_PKT_DATA(tp), GET_PKT_LEN(tp),
                                  pq, IPPROTO_IPV6);
                   if (ret != SC_ERR) {
                     /* add the tp to the packet queue. */
                     PacketEnqueue(pq,tp);
                     SCPerfCounterIncr(dtv->counter_teredo, tv->sc_perf_pca);
                     return 1;
               } else {
                       RETURN PACKET TO POOL
                       return 0;
                 }
                 }
             }
         }

This would allow to detect incorrect IPv6 packets which will trigger a failure of DecodeIPv6 and hence of DecodeTunnel. This way we will detect invalid packet in the most accurate way.
