Fedora Update Notification

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : fail2ban
Product     : Fedora 27
Version     : 0.10.2
Release     : 1.fc27
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 0.10.2 ----------------------  ### 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/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); * 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).
