-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-9506 2009-09-11 22:40:07 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : fail2ban Product : Fedora 11 Version : 0.8.4 Release : 23.fc11 URL : http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Ban IPs that make too many password failures Description : Fail2ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update redirects fail2ban's log to syslog. This also fixes and issue with logrotate purging banned clients. fail2ban also checks inodes instead of just the first line of a logfile. 0.8.4 is the first fail2ban release to work with Python 2.6 (previous versions would fail with the "unexpected communication problem" error message). Additionally, the logging subsystem is now shutdown when it really is not needed anymore, which fixes the "cannot release un- acquired lock" issue. The maxretry/findtime rate problem has been fixed. This updates also carries some new features: * A fail2ban-client command to manually ban a specific IP for a certain jail (buanzo). * Two new filters: lighttpd-fastcgi and php-url-fopen (buanzo). * Added actions to report abuse to ISP, DShield and myNetWatchman. * A Nagios script to help you integrate fail2ban with Nagios. . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Sep 11 2009 Axel Thimm <[email protected]> - 0.8.4-23 - update to 0.8.4. * Wed Sep 2 2009 Axel Thimm <[email protected]> - 0.8.3-22 - Update to a newer svn snapshot to fix python 2.6 issue. * Thu Aug 27 2009 Axel Thimm <[email protected]> - 0.8.3-21 - Log to syslog (RH bug #491983).
