SmartOS (and likely other Illumos platforms) enter log entries for failed sshd logins of the form:
`Authentication failed for USER from HOST`
The current sshd.conf regex matches `failure` -- add to this a match for `failed` to support Illumos
- differentiate between in loop and active (reset active only after really leaves a loop);
- differentiate between foreign and self loop-thread by stop/close connection;
- stops logging connection errors if too many errors;
- safe remove socket (no sporadic errors if too fast start/stop occurred);
-----------
- 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

MANIFEST RELEASE and man pages updates
Changes for the 0.9.4 release
datedetector: epoch time expression fix (now 10-11 chars, only whole number - anchored ^...\b or by special case within [], audit()) + test cases extended (positive/negative)
changelog about gentoo initd
added wp-admin
ENH(TST): a hypothetical example to show/test needing trailing anchoring
ENH: revert back to having detailed suffix anchored at the end for mysqld-auto.conf
Changelog for the recent PR and added Tom to THANKS
mysqld: failregex fixed (accepts different log level, more secure expression now); closes#1332
Add support for matching postfix multi-instance daemon names by default
DOC: removed Nick from listed as FreeBSD maintainer
DOC: adjusted ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md picking on @sebres's version
ENH: github templates for issues and PRs
ENH: add codecov support to travis.yml and bandge to README.md
gentoo-initd: Use start-stop-daemon in order to handle crashes better
regexp rewritten (few vulnerable as previous) + test case added
Update asterisk filter: changed regex for "Call from ...". Sometimes extension can have a plus symbol (+) because they can be phone number. Closes#1309
Add new regex into postfix filter. The new regexp is able to detect bad formatted SMTP EHLO command
Remove compression and count from logrotate
gentoo-initd: do not hide useful output
...
Currently, if fail2ban is killed (or crashes), its status will be
reported by '/etc/init.d/fail2ban status' as 'running' even though it
is not. Attempting to restart the service also fails, because Gentoo
unsuccessfully tries to stop the service.
By using start-stop-daemon and providing a pidfile, Gentoo will
instead report the status as 'crashed' and allow the service to be
restarted as normal.
