Yeah, you are correct. Directly parsing udphdr through the sdk may
conceal bugs, such as illegal skb. To handle such exceptional scenarios,
we can determine the legitimacy of skb by checking whether the position
of the uh pointer is out of bounds.

Perhaps it could be modified like this:
struct udphdr *uh = udp_hdr(skb);

if (proto_4 != IPPROTO_UDP || (u8 *)uh < skb->head ||
(u8 *)uh + sizeof(struct udphdr) > skb_tail_pointer(skb)) {
__entry->sport = 0;
__entry->dport = 0;
__entry->ulen = 0;
} else {
__entry->sport = ntohs(uh->source);
__entry->dport = ntohs(uh->dest);
__entry->ulen = ntohs(uh->len);
}

Additionally, the validity of all parameters in the current patch has been
confirmed without any issues. Thank you once again for your reminder.
