The fail2ban tool was updated to version 0.8.12 to fix
various security issues and also brings bugfixes and
features.

Security issues fixed: A remote unauthenticated attacker
may cause arbitrary IP addresses to be blocked by Fail2ban
causing legitimate users to be blocked from accessing
services protected by Fail2ban. CVE-2013-7177 (cyrus-imap)
and CVE-2013-7176 (postfix)

- Use new flushlogs syntax after logrotate

- Update to version 0.8.12
* Log rotation can now occur with the command "flushlogs"
rather than reloading fail2ban or keeping the logtarget
settings consistent in jail.conf/local and
/etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban. (dep#697333, rh#891798).
* Added ignorecommand option for allowing dynamic
determination as to ignore and IP or not.
* Remove indentation of name and loglevel while logging
to SYSLOG to resolve syslog(-ng) parsing problems.
(dep#730202). Log lines now also report "[PID]" after
the name portion too.
* Epoch dates can now be enclosed within []
* New actions: badips, firewallcmd-ipset, ufw,
blocklist_de
* New filters: solid-pop3d, nsd, openwebmail, horde,
freeswitch, squid, ejabberd, openwebmail, groupoffice
* Filter improvements:
- apache-noscript now includes php cgi scripts
- exim-spam filter to match spamassassin log entry for
option SAdevnull.
- Added to sshd filter expression for "Received
disconnect from : 3: Auth fail"
- Improved ACL-handling for Asterisk
- Added improper command pipelining to postfix filter.
* General fixes:
- Added lots of jail.conf entries for missing filters
that creaped in over the last year.
- synchat changed to use push method which verifies
whether all data was send. This ensures that all data is
sent before closing the connection.
- Fixed python 2.4 compatibility (as sub-second in date
patterns weren't 2.4 compatible)
- Complain/email actions fixed to only include relevant
IPs to reporting
* Filter fixes:
- Added HTTP referrer bit of the apache access log to
the apache filters.
- Apache 2.4 perfork regexes fixed
- Kernel syslog expression can have leading spaces
- allow for ",milliseconds" in the custom date format
of proftpd.log
- recidive jail to block all protocols
- smtps not a IANA standard so may be missing from
/etc/services. Due to (still) common use 465 has been used
as the explicit port number
- Filter dovecot reordered session and TLS items in
regex with wider scope for session characters
* Ugly Fixes (Potentially incompatible changes):
- Unfortunately at the end of last release when the
action firewall-cmd-direct-new was added it was too long
and had a broken action check. The action was renamed to
firewallcmd-new to fit within jail name name length.
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#395).
- Last release added mysqld-syslog-iptables as a jail
configuration. This jailname was too long and it has been
renamed to mysqld-syslog.
- Fixed formating of github references in changelog
- reformatted spec-file

- Update to version 0.8.11
- In light of CVE-2013-2178 that triggered our last release
we have put a significant effort into tightening all of
the regexs of our filters to avoid another similar
vulnerability. We haven't examined all of these for a
potential DoS scenario however it is possible that
another DoS vulnerability exists that is fixed by this
release. A large number of filters have been updated to
include more failure regexs supporting previously
unbanned failures and support newer application versions
too. We have test cases for most of these now however if
you have other examples that demonstrate that a filter is
insufficient we welcome your feedback. During the
tightening of the regexs to avoid DoS vulnerabilities
there is the possibility that we have inadvertently,
despite our best intentions, incorrectly allowed a
failure to continue.
