Name : fail2ban
Product : Fedora 21
Version : 0.9.2
Release : 1.fc21
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:
ver. 0.9.2 (2015/04/29) - better-quick-now-than-later
----------
- Fixes:
* Fix ufw action commands
* infinite busy loop on _escapedTags match in substituteRecursiveTags gh-907. Thanks TonyThompson
* port[s] typo in jail.conf/nginx-http-auth gh-913. Thanks Frederik Wagner (fnerdwq)
* $ typo in jail.conf. Thanks Skibbi. Debian bug #767255
* grep'ing for IP in *mail-whois-lines.conf should now match also at the beginning and EOL. Thanks Dean Lee
* jail.conf
- php-url-fopen: separate logpath entries by newline
* failregex declared direct in jail was joined to single line (specifying of multiple expressions was not possible).
* filters.d/exim.conf - cover different settings of exim logs
details. Thanks bes.internal
* filter.d/postfix-sasl.conf - failregex is now case insensitive
* filters.d/postfix.conf - add 'Client host rejected error message' failregex
* fail2ban/__init__.py - add strptime thread safety hack-around
* recidive uses iptables-allports banaction by default now.
Avoids problems with iptables versions not understanding 'all' for protocols and ports
* filter.d/dovecot.conf
- match pam_authenticate line from EL7
- match unknown user line from EL7
* Use use_poll=True for Python 2.7 and >=3.4 to overcome "Bad file
descriptor" msgs issue (gh-161)
* filter.d/postfix-sasl.conf - tweak failregex and add ignoreregex to ignore system authentication issues
* fail2ban-regex reads filter file(s) completely, incl. '.local' file etc. (gh-954)
* firewallcmd-* actions: split output into separate lines for grepping (gh-908)
* Guard unicode encode/decode issues while storing records in the database.
Fixes "binding parameter error (unsupported type)" (gh-973), thanks to kot for reporting
* filter.d/sshd added regex for matching openSUSE ssh authentication failure
* filter.d/asterisk.conf:
- Dropped "Sending fake auth rejection" failregex since it incorrectly targets the asterisk server itself
- match "hacking attempt detected" logs
- New Features:
- New filters:
- postfix-rbl Thanks Lee Clemens
- apache-fakegooglebot.conf Thanks Lee Clemens
- nginx-botsearch Thanks Frantisek Sumsal
- drupal-auth Thanks Lee Clemens
- New recursive embedded substitution feature added:
- `<<PREF>HOST>` becomes `<IPV4HOST>` for PREF=`IPV4`;
- `<<PREF>HOST>` becomes `1.2.3.4` for PREF=`IPV4` and IPV4HOST=`1.2.3.4`;
- New interpolation feature for config readers - `%(known/parameter)s`. (means last known option with name `parameter`). This interpolation makes possible to extend a stock filter or jail regexp in .local file (opposite to simply set failregex/ignoreregex that overwrites it), see gh-867.
- Monit config for fail2ban in files/monit/
- New actions:
- action.d/firewallcmd-multiport and action.d/firewallcmd-allports Thanks Donald Yandt
- action.d/sendmail-geoip-lines.conf
- action.d/nsupdate to update DNSBL. Thanks Andrew St. Jean
- New status argument for fail2ban-client -- flavor:
fail2ban-client status <jail> [flavor]
- empty or "basic" works as-is
- "cymru" additionally prints (ASN, Country RIR) per banned IP (requires dnspython or dnspython3)
- Flush log at USR1 signal
- Enhancements:
* Enable multiport for firewallcmd-new action. Closes gh-834
* files/debian-initd migrated from the debian branch and should be suitable for manual installations now (thanks Juan Karlo de Guzman)
* Define empty ignoreregex in filters which didn't have it to avoid warnings (gh-934)
* action.d/{sendmail-*,xarf-login-attack}.conf - report local
timezone not UTC time/zone. Closes gh-911
* Conditionally log Ignore IP with reason (dns, ip, command). Closes gh-916
* Absorbed DNSUtils.cidr into addr2bin in filter.py, added unittests
* Added syslogsocket configuration to fail2ban.conf
* Note in the jail.conf for the recidive jail to increase dbpurgeage (gh-964)
