Well, I think we should probably figure out why that is happening first.

I got my hands on a tcpdump trace. I've trimmed it to this:

The last few seconds contain only normal writes and suddenly the host
receives two invalid packets. From what I see the host doesn't misbehave
at all. I wonder if it would be possible to detect the invalid packet by
locking at the PDU header only. If this would be possible we could
discard it early and do not try to use the invalid command id.

Here the last two packets with details:

As I suspected, we did receive an invalid frame.
Data digest would have saved us, but then it's not enabled.

So we do need to check if the request is valid before processing it.
