-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-37f01b2610 2018-04-06 15:00:04.588018 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1533760 - fail2ban fails to create ipset rules https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1533760 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
