RFC 4660          Functional Description of Filtering     September 2006


8.  Security Considerations

   The presence of filters in the body of a SIP message has a
   significant effect on the ways in which the request is handled at a
   server.  As a result, it is especially important that messages
   containing this extension be authenticated and authorized.
   Authentication can be achieved using the Digest Authentication
   mechanism described in [2].  The authorisation decision is based on
   the permissions that the resource (notifier) has given to the
   watcher.  An example of such auhorisation policy can be found in
   [11].

   Processing of requests and looking up filters requires set operations
   and searches, which can require some amount of computation.  This
   enables a DoS attack whereby a user can send requests with
   substantial numbers of messages with large contents, in the hopes of
   overloading the server.  To counter this, the server can establish a
   limit on the number of occurrences of the <what>, <changed>, <added>,
   and <removed> elements that are allowed in the filters.  A default
   limit of 40 is RECOMMENDED; however, servers may raise or lower the
   limit depending upon their specific engineered capacity.

   Requests can reveal sensitive information about a User Agent's (UA's)
   capabilities.  If this information is sensitive, it SHOULD be
   encrypted using SIP S/MIME capabilities [6].  All package-specific
   security measures MUST be followed.

   Propagating filters in SUBSCRIBE requests to foreign domains reveals
   sensitive information about a user's resource lists.  It is therefore
   required that an RLS does not forward a filter if that filter is
   addressed to a resource that is under the administrative domain of
   the RLS, but that is not on the resource list.  Section 4.1 shows an
   example where such a scenario can occur.

   Note that a filtered document located at a subscriber may project
   false reality.  For example, if a subscriber asked to be notified
   when a resource has changed his presence state from "closed" to
   "open" but not from "open" to "closed", then the subscriber may
   afterwards be under the false impression that the resource's presence
   state is "open", even long after the resource has changed it to
   "closed".  Therefore, subscribers need to be sure what they put in a
   filter, understand what they asked for, and be prepared to be out of
   sync with the real state of a resource.

9.  IANA Considerations

   A new event-reason-value "badfilter" is defined to represent the
   event where the filter is not well formed and/or not accepted.  No
   IANA registration is required for this value.
