- ver. 0.10.4 (2018/10/04) - ten-four-on-due-date-ten-four
* https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10.4/ChangeLog
- Fixes
* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`:
- failregex enhancement to catch sql password mismatch errors (gh-2153);
- disconnected with "proxy dest auth failed" (gh-2184);
* `filter.d/freeswitch.conf`:
- provide compatibility for log-format from gh-2193:
* extended with new default date-pattern `^(?:%%Y-)?%%m-%%d[ T]%%H:%%M:%%S(?:\.%%f)?` to cover
`YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` as well as `mm-dd HH:MM::SS.ms` (so year is optional);
* more optional arguments in log-line (so accept [WARN] as well as [WARNING] and optional [SOFIA] hereafter);
- extended with mode parameter, allows to avoid matching of messages like `auth challenge (REGISTER)`
(see gh-2163) (currently `extra` as default to be backwards-compatible), see comments in filter
how to set it to mode `normal`.
* `filter.d/domino-smtp.conf`:
- recognizes failures logged using another format (something like session-id, IP enclosed in square brackets);
- failregex extended to catch connections rejected for policy reasons (gh-2228);
* `action.d/hostsdeny.conf`: fix parameter in config (dynamic parameters stating with '_' are protected
and don't allowed in command-actions), see gh-2114;
* decoding stability fix by wrong encoded characters like utf-8 surrogate pairs, etc (gh-2171):
- fail2ban running in the preferred encoding now (as default encoding also within python 2.x), mostly
`UTF-8` in opposite to `ascii` previously, so minimizes influence of implicit conversions errors;
- actions: avoid possible conversion errors on wrong-chars by replace tags;
- database: improve adapter/converter handlers working on invalid characters in sense of json and/or sqlite-database;
additionally both are exception-safe now, so avoid possible locking of database (closes gh-2137);
- logging in fail2ban is process-wide exception-safe now.
* repaired start-time of initial seek to time (as well as other log-parsing related data),
if parameter `logpath` specified before `findtime`, `backend`, `datepattern`, etc (gh-2173)
* systemd: fixed type error on option `journalflags`: an integer is required (gh-2125);
- New Features
* new option `ignorecache` to improve performance of ignore failure check (using caching of `ignoreip`,
`ignoreself` and `ignorecommand`), see `man jail.conf` for syntax-example;
* `ignorecommand` extended to use actions-similar replacement (capable to interpolate
all possible tags like ``, ``, ``, `F-USER` etc.)
- Enhancements
* `filter.d/dovecot.conf`: extended with tags F-USER (and alternatives) to collect user-logins (gh-2168)
* since v.0.10.4, fail2ban-client, fail2ban-server and fail2ban-regex will return version without logo info,
additionally option `-V` can be used to get version in normalized machine-readable short format.
- rebase patches
* fail2ban-opensuse-locations.patch
* fail2ban-opensuse-service.patch
- add signature file
- Updated to version 0.10.3.1. Changelog:
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10.3.1/ChangeLog
* fixed JSON serialization for the set-object within dump into database (gh-2103).
- Updated to version 0.10.3. Changelog:
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10.3/ChangeLog
- Fixes
* `filter.d/asterisk.conf`: fixed failregex prefix by log over remote syslog server (gh-2060);
* `filter.d/exim.conf`: failregex extended - SMTP call dropped: too many syntax or protocol errors (gh-2048);
* `filter.d/recidive.conf`: fixed if logging into systemd-journal (SYSLOG) with daemon name in prefix, gh-2069;
* `filter.d/sendmail-auth.conf`, `filter.d/sendmail-reject.conf` :
- fixed failregex, sendmail uses prefix 'IPv6:' logging of IPv6 addresses (gh-2064);
* `filter.d/sshd.conf`:
- failregex got an optional space in order to match new log-format (see gh-2061);
- fixed ddos-mode regex to match refactored message (some versions can contain port now, see gh-2062);
- fixed root login refused regex (optional port before preauth, gh-2080);
- avoid banning of legitimate users when pam_unix used in combination with other password method, so
bypass pam_unix failures if accepted available for this user gh-2070;
- amend to gh-1263 with better handling of multiple attempts (failures for different user-names recognized immediatelly);
- mode `ddos` (and `aggressive`) extended to catch `Connection closed by ... [preauth]`, so in DDOS mode
it counts failure on closing connection within preauth-stage (gh-2085);
* `action.d/abuseipdb.conf`: fixed curl cypher errors and comment quote-issue (gh-2044, gh-2101);
* `action.d/badips.py`: implicit convert IPAddr to str, solves an issue "expected string, IPAddr found" (gh-2059);
* `action.d/hostsdeny.conf`: fixed IPv6 syntax (enclosed in square brackets, gh-2066);
* (Free)BSD ipfw actionban fixed to allow same rule added several times (gh-2054);
- New Features
* several stability and performance optimizations, more effective filter parsing, etc;
* stable runnable within python versions 3.6 (as well as within 3.7-dev);
- Enhancements
* `filter.d/apache-auth.conf`: detection of Apache SNI errors resp. misredirect attempts (gh-2017, gh-2097);
* `filter.d/apache-noscript.conf`: extend failregex to match "Primary script unknown", e. g. from php-fpm (gh-2073);
* date-detector extended with long epoch (`LEPOCH`) to parse milliseconds/microseconds posix-dates (gh-2029);
* possibility to specify own regex-pattern to match epoch date-time, e. g. `^\[{EPOCH}\]` or `^\[{LEPOCH}\]` (gh-2038);
the epoch-pattern similar to `{DATE}` patterns does the capture and cuts out the match of whole pattern from the log-line,
e. g. date-pattern `^\[{LEPOCH}\]\s+:` will match and cut out `[1516469849551000] :` from begin of the log-line.
* badips.py now uses https instead of plain http when requesting badips.com (gh-2057);
* add support for "any" badips.py bancategory, to be able to retrieve IPs from all categories with a desired score (gh-2056);
* Introduced new parameter `padding` for logging within fail2ban-server (default on, excepting SYSLOG):
Usage `logtarget = target[padding=on|off]`
- Updated to version 0.10.2. Changelog:
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/0.10.2/ChangeLog
- rebased patch
- Incompatibility list (compared to v.0.9):
* Filter (or `failregex`) internal capture-groups:
- If you've your own `failregex` or custom filters using conditional match `(?P=host)`, you should
rewrite the regex like in example below resp. using `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)` instead of `(?P=host)`
(or `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)|(?P=dns))` corresponding your `usedns` and `raw` settings).
Of course you can always define your own capture-group (like below `_cond_ip_`) to do this.
testln="1500000000 failure from 192.0.2.1: bad host 192.0.2.1"
fail2ban-regex "$testln" "^\s*failure from (?P<_cond_ip_>): bad host (?P=_cond_ip_)$"
- New internal groups (currently reserved for internal usage):
`ip4`, `ip6`, `dns`, `fid`, `fport`, additionally `user` and another captures in lower case if
mapping from tag `` used in failregex (e. g. `user` by ``).
* v.0.10 uses more precise date template handling, that can be theoretically incompatible to some
user configurations resp. `datepattern`.
* Since v0.10 fail2ban supports the matching of the IPv6 addresses, but not all ban actions are
IPv6-capable now.
- Incompatibility:
* The configuration for jails using banaction `pf` can be incompatible after upgrade, because pf-action uses
anchors now (see `action.d/pf.conf` for more information). If you want use obsolete handling without anchors,
just rewrite it in the `jail.local` by overwrite of `pfctl` parameter, e. g. like `banaction = pf[pfctl="pfctl"]`.
- Fixes
* Fixed logging to systemd-journal: new logtarget value SYSOUT can be used instead of STDOUT, to avoid
write of the time-stamp, if logging to systemd-journal from foreground mode (gh-1876)
* Fixed recognition of the new date-format on mysqld-auth filter (gh-1639)
* jail.conf: port `imap3` replaced with `imap` everywhere, since imap3 is not a standard port and old rarely
(if ever) used and can missing on some systems (e. g. debian stretch), see gh-1942.
* config/paths-common.conf: added missing initial values (and small normalization in config/paths-*.conf)
in order to avoid errors while interpolating (e. g. starting with systemd-backend), see gh-1955.
* `action.d/pf.conf`:
- fixed syntax error in achnor definition (documentation, see gh-1919);
- enclose ports in braces for multiport jails (see gh-1925);
* `action.d/firewallcmd-ipset.conf`: fixed create of set for ipv6 (missing `family inet6`, gh-1990)
* `filter.d/sshd.conf`:
- extended failregex for modes "extra"/"aggressive": now finds all possible (also future)
forms of "no matching (cipher|mac|MAC|compression method|key exchange method|host key type) found",
see "ssherr.c" for all possible SSH_ERR_..._ALG_MATCH errors (gh-1943, gh-1944);
- fixed failregex in order to avoid banning of legitimate users with multiple public keys (gh-2014, gh-1263);
- New Features
* datedetector: extended default date-patterns (allows extra space between the date and time stamps);
introduces 2 new format directives (with corresponding %Ex prefix for more precise parsing):
- %k - one- or two-digit number giving the hour of the day (0-23) on a 24-hour clock,
(corresponds %H, but allows space if not zero-padded).
- %l - one- or two-digit number giving the hour of the day (12-11) on a 12-hour clock,
(corresponds %I, but allows space if not zero-padded).
* `filter.d/exim.conf`: added mode `aggressive` to ban flood resp. DDOS-similar failures (gh-1983);
- New Actions:
* `action.d/nginx-block-map.conf` - in order to ban not IP-related tickets via nginx (session blacklisting in
nginx-location with map-file);
- Enhancements
* jail.conf: extended with new parameter `mode` for the filters supporting it (gh-1988);
* action.d/pf.conf: extended with bulk-unban, command `actionflush` in order to flush all bans at once.
* Introduced new parameters for logging within fail2ban-server (gh-1980).
Usage `logtarget = target[facility=..., datetime=on|off, format="..."]`:
- `facility` - specify syslog facility (default `daemon`, see https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.handlers.html#sysloghandler
for the list of facilities);
- `datetime` - add date-time to the message (default on, ignored if `format` specified);
- `format` - specify own format how it will be logged, for example for short-log into STDOUT:
`fail2ban-server -f --logtarget 'stdout[format="%(relativeCreated)5d | %(message)s"]' start`;
* Automatically recover or recreate corrupt persistent database (e. g. if failed to open with
'database disk image is malformed'). Fail2ban will create a backup, try to repair the database,
if repair fails - recreate new database (gh-1465, gh-2004).
- Replace references to /var/adm/fillup-templates with new
%_fillupdir macro (boo#1069468)

* Several filters optimized
* Introduced new jail option "ignoreself"
- Lots of fixes and internal improvements
- Incompatibitilities:
* Filter (or `failregex`) internal capture-groups:
- If you've your own `failregex` or custom filters using conditional match `(?P=host)`, you should
rewrite the regex like in example below resp. using `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)` instead of `(?P=host)`
(or `(?:(?P=ip4)|(?P=ip6)|(?P=dns))` corresponding your `usedns` and `raw` settings).
Of course you can always your own capture-group (like below `_cond_ip_`) to do this.
```
testln="1500000000 failure from 192.0.2.1: bad host 192.0.2.1"
fail2ban-regex "$testln" "^\s*failure from (?P<_cond_ip_>): bad host (?P=_cond_ip_)$"
```
- New internal groups (currently reserved for internal usage):
`ip4`, `ip6`, `dns`, `fid`, `fport`, additionally `user` and another captures in lower case if
mapping from tag `` used in failregex (e. g. `user` by ``).
* v.0.10 uses more precise date template handling, that can be theoretically incompatible to some
user configurations resp. `datepattern`.
* Since v0.10 fail2ban supports the matching of the IPv6 addresses, but not all ban actions are
IPv6-capable now.

(0.10th resp. IPv6 relevant only, amend for gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1479)
* config/pathes-freebsd.conf
- Fixed filenames for apache and nginx log files (gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1667)

induced a subsequent error: last position of log file will be never retrieved (gh-795)
* Fixed a distribution related bug within testReadStockJailConfForceEnabled
(e.g. test-cases faults on Fedora, see gh-1353)

### Enhancements
* DateTemplate regexp extended with the word-end boundary, additionally to
word-start boundary
* Introduces new command "fail2ban-python", as automatically created symlink to
python executable, where fail2ban currently installed (resp. its modules are located):
- allows to use the same version, fail2ban currently running, e.g. in
external scripts just via replace python with fail2ban-python:
```diff
-#!/usr/bin/env python
+#!/usr/bin/env fail2ban-python
```
- always the same pickle protocol
- the same (and also guaranteed available) fail2ban modules
- simplified stand-alone install, resp. stand-alone installation possibility
via setup (like gh-1487) is getting closer
* Several test cases rewritten using new methods assertIn, assertNotIn
* New forward compatibility method assertRaisesRegexp (normally python >= 2.7).
Methods assertIn, assertNotIn, assertRaisesRegexp, assertLogged, assertNotLogged
are test covered now
* Jail configuration extended with new syntax to pass options to the backend (see gh-1408),
examples:
- `backend = systemd[journalpath=/run/log/journal/machine-1]`
- `backend = systemd[journalfiles="/run/log/journal/machine-1/system.journal, /run/log/journal/machine-1/user.journal"]`
- `backend = systemd[journalflags=2]`
- rebase fail2ban-opensuse-locations.patch, fail2ban-opensuse-service.patch
- Update to version 0.9.5
New Features
* New Actions: action.d/firewallcmd-rich-rules and
action.d/firewallcmd-rich-logging (gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1367)
* New filter: slapd - ban hosts, that were failed to connect with invalid
credentials: error code 49 (gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1478)
Enhancements
* Extreme speedup of all sqlite database operations
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1436), by using of following sqlite options:
- (synchronous = OFF) write data through OS without syncing
- (journal_mode = MEMORY) use memory for the transaction logging
- (temp_store = MEMORY) temporary tables and indices are kept in memory
* journald journalmatch for pure-ftpd (gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1362)
* Added additional regex filter for dovecot ldap authentication
failures (gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1370)

- Made port entry optional
Fixes
* filter.d/monit.conf
- Extended failregex with new monit "access denied" version
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1355)
- failregex of previous monit version merged as single expression
* filter.d/postfix.conf, filter.d/postfix-sasl.conf
- Extended failregex daemon part, matching also postfix/smtps/smtpd now
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1391)
* Fixed a grave bug within tags substitutions because of incorrect detection
of recursion in case of multiple inline substitutions of the same tag
(affected actions: bsd-ipfw, etc). Now tracks the actual list of the
already substituted tags (per tag instead of single list)
* filter.d/common.conf
- Unexpected extra regex-space in generic __prefix_line
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1405)
- All optional spaces normalized in common.conf, test covered now
- Generic __prefix_line extended with optional brackets for the date ambit
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1421), added new parameter __date_ambit

not argument of fail2ban (see gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1434)
* filter.d/asterisk.conf
- Fixed security log support for PJSIP and Asterisk 13+
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1456)
- Improved log support for PJSIP and Asterisk 13+ with different callID
(gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#1458)

- All files in /etc/fail2ban/ except jail.local are now automatically replaced
upon installation of fail2ban
- The update to this versions allow to close boo#917818, as the logger-backends for
several services are now centrally set in /etc/fail2ban/paths-opensuse.conf
- Update to version 0.9.4
New Features:
* New interpolation feature for definition config readers - ``
(means last known init definition of filters or actions with name `parameter`).
This interpolation makes possible to extend a parameters of stock filter or
action directly in jail inside jail.local file, without creating a separately
filter.d/*.local file.
As extension to interpolation `%(known/parameter)s`, that does not works for
filter and action init parameters
* New actions:
- nftables-multiport and nftables-allports - filtering using nftables
framework. Note: it requires a pre-existing chain for the filtering rule.
* New filters:
- openhab - domotic software authentication failure with the
rest api and web interface (gh-1223)
- nginx-limit-req - ban hosts, that were failed through nginx by limit
request processing rate (ngx_http_limit_req_module)
- murmur - ban hosts that repeatedly attempt to connect to
murmur/mumble-server with an invalid server password or certificate.
- haproxy-http-auth - filter to match failed HTTP Authentications against a
HAProxy server
* New jails:
- murmur - bans TCP and UDP from the bad host on the default murmur port.
* sshd filter got new failregex to match "maximum authentication
attempts exceeded" (introduced in openssh 6.8)
* Added filter for Mac OS screen sharing (VNC) daemon
Enhancements:
* Do not rotate empty log files
* Added new date pattern with year after day (e.g.
http://bugs.debian.org/798923
* Added openSUSE path configuration (Thanks Johannes Weberhofer)
* Allow to split ignoreip entries by ',' as well as by ' ' (gh-1197)

* Added filter for openhab domotic software authentication failure with the
rest api and web interface (gh-1223)
* Add *_backend options for services to allow distros to set the default
backend per service, set default to systemd for Fedora as appropriate
* Performance improvements while monitoring large number of files (gh-1265).
Use associative array (dict) for monitored log files to speed up lookup
operations. Thanks @kshetragia
* Specified that fail2ban is PartOf iptables.service firewalld.service in
.service file -- would reload fail2ban if those services are restarted
* Provides new default `fail2ban_version` and interpolation variable
`fail2ban_agent` in jail.conf
* Enhance filter 'postfix' to ban incoming SMTP client with no fqdn hostname,
and to support multiple instances of postfix having varying suffix (gh-1331)
(Thanks Tom Hendrikx)
* files/gentoo-initd to use start-stop-daemon to robustify restarting the service
Fixes:
* roundcube-auth jail typo for logpath
* Fix dnsToIp resolver for fqdn with large list of IPs (gh-1164)
* filter.d/apache-badbots.conf
- Updated useragent string regex adding escape for `+`
* filter.d/mysqld-auth.conf
gg - Updated "Access denied ..." regex for MySQL 5.6 and later (gh-1211, gh-1332)
* filter.d/sshd.conf
- Updated "Auth fail" regex for OpenSSH 5.9 and later
* Treat failed and killed execution of commands identically (only
different log messages), which addresses different behavior on different
exit codes of dash and bash (gh-1155)
* Fix jail.conf.5 man's section (gh-1226)
* Fixed default banaction for allports jails like pam-generic, recidive, etc
with new default variable `banaction_allports` (gh-1216)
* Fixed `fail2ban-regex` stops working on invalid (wrong encoded) character
for python version < 3.x (gh-1248)
* Use postfix_log logpath for postfix-rbl jail
* filters.d/postfix.conf - add 'Sender address rejected: Domain not found' failregex
* use `fail2ban_agent` as user-agent in actions badips, blocklist_de, etc (gh-1271)
* Fix ignoring the sender option by action_mw, action_mwl and action_c_mwl
* Changed filter.d/asterisk regex for "Call from ..." (few vulnerable now)
* Removed compression and rotation count from logrotate (inherit them from
the global logrotate config)
- Require python-systemd for openSUSE 12.3+
- Cleaned up the spec file
- Added /run/fail2ban for openSUSE 13.2+
- Don't fail on test-errors
- Added fail2ban-upstream-fix-ExecuteTimeoutWithNastyChildren-test.patch
to fix the former failing test and removed
fail2ban-exclude-ExecuteTimeoutWithNastyChildren-test.patch
- Do not longer create test-package. Developers should not use the packaged
version of fail2ban.
- patches are no longer included conditionally
- fail2ban-exclude-ExecuteTimeoutWithNastyChildren-test.patch excludes the
ExecuteTimeoutWithNastyChildren test, as it doesn't run correctly on
openSUSE.
- fail2ban-disable-iptables-w-option.patch disables iptables "-w" option for
older releases.
- 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
- Note: fail2ban-issue_906-strptime.patch has been removed as it is already
integrated in the current version.
- Removed "backend" setting from paths-opensuse.conf
- Update to version 0.9.2 (requested in boo#917818)
Read the full changelog in /usr/share/doc/packages/fail2ban/ChangeLog
Here are some notes to be read when updating existing installations:
The default log-backend for openssue 13.2+ is now systemd
* 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
- Require whois
- Whereever possible, path-definitions have been moved paths-opensuse.conf
which has been submittet upstream
- Use default fail2ban.service including fail2ban-opensuse-service.patch
- Use default suse-initd from upstream
- Run test-cases during build
- run fdupes
- Tests have been moved to a seperate page
- Added rpmlintrc file to ignore some hidden files in the test package
- Must build arch-depended packages for SLES 11
- Removed two tests which can't run on the build server with openSUSE
before 13.3: fail2ban-exclude-dev-log-tests.patch
- Add missing dependency on ed (boo#926943)
- Fixed strptime thread safety issue.
fail2ban-issue_906-strptime.patch (bnc#914075 gh#fail2ban/fail2ban#906)
- Added syslog to requirements, as this version of fail2ban does not
work with systemd-logging: bnc#905733
- Recommend installation of the ordering package when all
constituing parts are installed
- Fixed check for %_unitdir to make fail2ban build under older systems, too.
- Changed /usr to %{_prefix} in the spec file
- update to 0.8.14
* minor fixes for claimed Python 2.4 and 2.5 compatibility
* Handle case when inotify watch is auto deleted on file deletion to stop
error messages
* tests - fixed few "leaky" file descriptors when files were not closed while
being removed physically
* grep in mail*-whois-lines.conf now also matches end of line to work with
the recidive filter
- add fail2ban-opensuse-locations.patch to fix default locations as suggested
in bnc#878028
- update to 0.8.13:
+ Fixes:
- action firewallcmd-ipset had non-working actioncheck. Removed.
redhat bug #1046816.
- filter pureftpd - added _daemon which got removed. Added
+ New Features:
- filter nagios - detects unauthorized access to the nrpe daemon (Ivo Truxa)
- filter sendmail-{auth,reject} (jserrachinha and cepheid666 and fab23).
+ Enhancements:
- filter asterisk now supports syslog format
- filter pureftpd - added all translations of "Authentication failed for
user"
- filter dovecot - lip= was optional and extended TLS errors can occur.
Thanks Noel Butler.
- removed fix-for-upstream-firewallcmd-ipset.conf.patch : fixed
upstream
- split out nagios-plugins-fail2ban package
- Add a new subpackage to install systemd drop-ins that couple
SuSEfirewall2 and fail2ban. Added sfw-fail2ban.conf,
f2b-restart.conf.
Security note: The update to version 0.8.11 has fixed two additional security
issues: 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)
- action firewallcmd-ipset had non-working actioncheck. Removed. rh#1046816
- lsof was required for fail2ban's SysVinit scripts only. Not longer used for
newer versions of openSUSE
- Reviewed and fixed github references in the changelog
- 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.
- Added systemd service file and systemd-tmpfiles configuration
- Update to version 0.8.10 Primarily bugfix and enhancements release, triggered
by "bugs" in apache- filters. If you are relying on listed below apache-
