There is already RFC 7606 (Revised Error Handling for BGP UPDATE Messages), which specifies in detail how broken BGP messages should be handled.
The most common approach is 'treat-as-withdraw', i.e. handle the update (announcement of a route) as if it was a withdraw (removal of previously announced route). You should not just drop the broken message as that whould lead to keeping old, no longer valid state.
