fail2ban received a major version update to 0.9.3.

The changes are listed in /usr/share/doc/packages/fail2ban/ChangeLog

It also fixes a small systemd related issue (bnc#917818)

Upstream changes:
- Update to version 0.9.3
- IMPORTANT incompatible changes:
* filter.d/roundcube-auth.conf
- Changed logpath to 'errors' log (was 'userlogins')
* action.d/iptables-common.conf
- All calls to iptables command now use -w switch introduced in
iptables 1.4.20 (some distribution could have patched their
earlier base version as well) to provide this locking mechanism
useful under heavy load to avoid contesting on iptables calls.
If you need to disable, define 'action.d/iptables-common.local'
with empty value for 'lockingopt' in `[Init]` section.
* mail-whois-lines, sendmail-geoip-lines and sendmail-whois-lines
actions now include by default only the first 1000 log lines in
the emails. Adjust to augment the behavior.
- Fixes:
* reload in interactive mode appends all the jails twice (gh-825)
* reload server/jail failed if database used (but was not changed) and
some jail active (gh-1072)
* filter.d/dovecot.conf - also match unknown user in passwd-file.
Thanks Anton Shestakov
* Fix fail2ban-regex not parsing journalmatch correctly from filter config
* filter.d/asterisk.conf - fix security log support for Asterisk 12+
* filter.d/roundcube-auth.conf
- Updated regex to work with 'errors' log (1.0.5 and 1.1.1)
- Added regex to work with 'userlogins' log
* action.d/sendmail*.conf - use LC_ALL (superseeding LC_TIME) to override
locale on systems with customized LC_ALL
* performance fix: minimizes connection overhead, close socket only at
communication end (gh-1099)
* unbanip always deletes ip from database (independent of bantime, also if
currently not banned or persistent)
* guarantee order of dbfile to be before dbpurgeage (gh-1048)
* always set 'dbfile' before other database options (gh-1050)
* kill the entire process group of the child process upon timeout (gh-1129).
Otherwise could lead to resource exhaustion due to hanging whois
processes.
* resolve /var/run/fail2ban path in setup.py to help installation
on platforms with /var/run -> /run symlink (gh-1142)
- New Features:
* RETURN iptables target is now a variable:
* New type of operation: pass2allow, use fail2ban for "knocking",
opening a closed port by swapping blocktype and returntype
* New filters:
- froxlor-auth - Thanks Joern Muehlencord
- apache-pass - filter Apache access log for successful authentication
* New actions:
- shorewall-ipset-proto6 - using proto feature of the Shorewall. Still requires
manual pre-configuration of the shorewall. See the action file for detail.
* New jails:
- pass2allow-ftp - allows FTP traffic after successful HTTP authentication
- Enhancements:
* action.d/cloudflare.conf - improved documentation on how to allow
multiple CF accounts, and jail.conf got new compound action
definition action_cf_mwl to submit cloudflare report.
* Check access to socket for more detailed logging on error (gh-595)
* fail2ban-testcases man page
* filter.d/apache-badbots.conf, filter.d/nginx-botsearch.conf - add
HEAD method verb
* Revamp of Travis and coverage automated testing
* Added a space between IP address and the following colon
in notification emails for easier text selection
* Character detection heuristics for whois output via optional setting
in mail-whois*.conf. Thanks Thomas Mayer.
Not enabled by default, if _whois_command is set to be
%(_whois_convert_charset)s (e.g. in action.d/mail-whois-common.local),
it
- detects character set of whois output (which is undefined by
RFC 3912) via heuristics of the file command
- converts whois data to UTF-8 character set with iconv
- sends the whois output in UTF-8 character set to mail program
- avoids that heirloom mailx creates binary attachment for input with
unknown character set
- Update to version 0.9.2 (requested in boo#917818)
* jail.conf was heavily refactored and now is similar to how it looked on
Debian systems:
- default action could be configured once for all jails
- jails definitions only provide customizations (port, logpath)
- no need to specify 'filter' if name matches jail name
* Added fail2ban persistent database
- default location at /var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3
- allows active bans to be reinstated on restart
- log files read from last position after restart
* Added systemd journal backend
- Dependency on python-systemd
- New "journalmatch" option added to filter configs files
- New "systemd-journal" option added to fail2ban-regex
* Support %z (Timezone offset) and %f (sub-seconds) support for datedetector.
Enhanced existing date/time have been updated patterns to support these.
ISO8601 now defaults to localtime unless specified otherwise. Some filters
have been change as required to capture these elements in the right
timezone correctly.
* Log levels are now set by Syslog style strings e.g. DEBUG, ERROR.
* Optionally can read log files starting from "head" or "tail". See "logpath"
option in jail.conf(5) man page.
* Can now set log encoding for files per jail.Default uses systemd locale.
* iptables-common.conf replaced iptables-blocktype.conf
(iptables-blocktype.local should still be read) and now also provides
defaults for the chain, port, protocol and name tags
- Update to version 0.9.1
- Refactoring (IMPORTANT -- Please review your setup and configuration):
* iptables-common.conf replaced iptables-blocktype.conf
(iptables-blocktype.local should still be read) and now also
provides defaults for the chain, port, protocol and name tags
- Fixes:
* start of file2ban aborted (on slow hosts, systemd considers the server has
been timed out and kills him), see gh-824
* UTF-8 fixes in pure-ftp thanks to Johannes Weberhofer. Closes gh-806.
* systemd backend error on bad utf-8 in python3
* badips.py action error when logging HTTP error raised with badips request
* fail2ban-regex failed to work in python3 due to space/tab mix
* recidive regex samples incorrect log level
* journalmatch for recidive incorrect PRIORITY
* loglevel couldn't be changed in fail2ban.conf
* Handle case when no sqlite library is available for persistent database
* Only reban once per IP from database on fail2ban restart
* Nginx filter to support missing server_name. Closes gh-676
* fail2ban-regex assertion error caused by miscount missed lines with
multiline regex
* Fix actions failing to execute for Python 3.4.0. Workaround for
http://bugs.python.org/issue21207
* Database now returns persistent bans on restart (bantime < 0)
* Recursive action tags now fully processed. Fixes issue with bsd-ipfw
action
* Fixed TypeError with "ipfailures" and "ipjailfailures" action tags.
Thanks Serg G. Brester
* Correct times for non-timezone date times formats during DST
* Pass a copy of, not original, aInfo into actions to avoid side-effects
* Per-distribution paths to the exim's main log
* Ignored IPs are no longer banned when being restored from persistent
database
* Manually unbanned IPs are now removed from persistent database, such they
wont be banned again when Fail2Ban is restarted
* Pass "bantime" parameter to the actions in default jail's action
definition(s)
* filters.d/sieve.conf - fixed typo in _daemon. Thanks Jisoo Park
* cyrus-imap -- also catch also failed logins via secured (imaps/pop3s).
Regression was introduced while strengthening failregex in 0.8.11 (bd175f)
