Expected behaviour

The P2P module handles exceptions normally when processing transaction messages.

Actual behaviour

The mainnet fullnode I was running printed the following exception stack log:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0
at org.tron.protos.Protocol$Transaction$raw.getContract(Protocol.java:37837)
at org.tron.core.net.messagehandler.TransactionsMsgHandler.processMessage(TransactionsMsgHandler.java:74)
at org.tron.core.net.P2pEventHandlerImpl.processMessage(P2pEventHandlerImpl.java:201)
at org.tron.core.net.P2pEventHandlerImpl.onMessage(P2pEventHandlerImpl.java:141)
at org.tron.p2p.connection.ChannelManager.handMessage(ChannelManager.java:261)
at org.tron.p2p.connection.ChannelManager.processMessage(ChannelManager.java:207)
at org.tron.p2p.connection.socket.MessageHandler.decode(MessageHandler.java:51)
at org.tron.p2p.stats.TrafficStats$TrafficStatHandler.channelRead(TrafficStats.java:36)

After analyzing the code, we found that the location of the exception log output is the TransactionsMsgHandler class that processes transaction messages. By default, each transaction carried by the transaction message in the processing logic contains at least 1 contract. Suppose the transaction received from the peer does not carry a contract. In that case, an IndexOutOfBoundsException exception will be reported when processing this transaction, and the connection with the peer will be disconnected.

Frequency

The exception stack appears occasionally.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Send transaction P2P messages without contracts to the node.
