Of course.  Rule #1 of reliable programming: if your program malfunctions due to input from outside the system, it's always your fault.  It may be true that "the input was invalid" but that doesn't excuse the malfunction.

Normally "invalid input" includes maliciously constructed input.  To pick a random example, some of the unit test scripts in PyDECnet send random garbage as packet data to various components, to see if they break.  If yes, I fix things.
