-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2016-73eab6c7c7 2016-10-21 13:23:01.966882 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : fail2ban Product : Fedora EPEL 7 Version : 0.9.5 Release : 3.el7 URL : http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Daemon to ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors Description : Fail2Ban scans log files and bans IP addresses that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. These rules can be defined by the user. Fail2Ban can read multiple log files such as sshd or Apache web server ones.
Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents. Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services.
This is a meta-package that will install the default configuration. Other sub-packages are available to install support for other actions and configurations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
- Update to 0.9.5 - see https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/releases/tag/0.9.5 - Give up being PartOf iptables to allow firewalld restarts to work (bug #1379141) - Add journalmatch entries for sendmail (bug #1329919) ---- Update to 0.9.4: 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 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) New Features: New interpolation feature for definition config readers - <known/parameter> (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. Sun Jan 23 2005 21:59:59) 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 a timeout (3 sec) to urlopen within badips.py action (Thanks M. Maraun) Added check against atacker's Googlebot PTR fake records (Thanks Pablo Rodriguez Fernandez) Enhance filter against atacker's Googlebot PTR fake records (gh-1226) Nginx log paths extended (prefixed with "*" wildcard) (gh-1237) 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
