 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Carries all fixes, features and enhancements from 0.8.13 (unreleased) with
 | 
						|
major changes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
you can use the 0.8.12 version of fail2ban.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please take note of release notes:
 | 
						|
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/releases/tag/0.9.0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please test your configuration before relying on it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Nearly all development is thanks to Steven Hiscocks (THANKS!), merging,
 | 
						|
testcases and timezone support from Daniel Black, and code-review and minor
 | 
						|
additions from Yaroslav Halchenko.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Refactoring (IMPORTANT -- Please review your setup and configuration):
 | 
						|
   * [..bddbf1e] jail.conf was heavily refactored and now is similar
 | 
						|
     to how it looked on Debian systems:
 | 
						|
     - default action could be configured once for all jails
 | 
						|
     - jails definitions only provide customizations (port, logpath)
 | 
						|
     - no need to specify 'filter' if name matches jail name
 | 
						|
   * [..5aef036] Core functionality moved into fail2ban/ module.
 | 
						|
     Closes gh-26
 | 
						|
     - tests included in module to aid testing and debugging
 | 
						|
   * Added fail2ban persistent database
 | 
						|
     - default location at /var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3
 | 
						|
     - allows active bans to be reinstated on restart
 | 
						|
     - log files read from last position after restart
 | 
						|
   * Added systemd journal backend
 | 
						|
     - Dependency on python-systemd
 | 
						|
     - New "journalmatch" option added to filter configs files
 | 
						|
     - New "systemd-journal" option added to fail2ban-regex
 | 
						|
   * Added python3 support
 | 
						|
   * Support %z (Timezone offset) and %f (sub-seconds) support for
 | 
						|
     datedetector. Enhanced existing date/time have been updated patterns to
 | 
						|
     support these. ISO8601 now defaults to localtime unless specified otherwise.
 | 
						|
     Some filters have been change as required to capture these elements in the
 | 
						|
     right timezone correctly.
 | 
						|
   * Log levels are now set by Syslog style strings e.g. DEBUG, ERROR.
 | 
						|
     - Log level INFO is now more verbose
 | 
						|
   * Optionally can read log files starting from "head" or "tail".
 | 
						|
     - See "logpath" option in jail.conf(5) man page.
 | 
						|
   * Can now set log encoding for files per jail.
 | 
						|
     - Default uses systemd locale.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
   * [..c7ae460] Multiline failregex. Close gh-54
 | 
						|
   * [8af32ed] Guacamole filter and support for Apache Tomcat date
 | 
						|
     format
 | 
						|
   * [..b6059f4] 'timeout' option for actions Close gh-60 and Debian bug
 | 
						|
     #410077.  Also it would now capture and include stdout and stderr
 | 
						|
     into logging messages in case of error or at DEBUG loglevel.
 | 
						|
   * Added action xarf-login-attack to report formatted attack messages
 | 
						|
     according to the XARF standard (v0.2). Close gh-105
 | 
						|
   * Support PyPy
 | 
						|
   * Add filter for apache-botsearch
 | 
						|
   * Add filter for kerio. Thanks Tony Lawrence for blog of regexs and
 | 
						|
     providing samples. Close gh-120

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
     - SMTP action for sending emails on jail start, stop and ban.
 | 
						|

						|
     - Requires Python 2.7+
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Enhancements
 | 
						|
   * Fail2ban-regex - don't accumulate lines if not printing them.
 | 
						|
     add options to suppress output of missed/ignored lines. Close gh-644
 | 
						|
   * Asterisk now supports syslog format
 | 
						|
   * Jail names increased to 26 characters and iptables prefix reduced
 | 
						|
     from fail2ban- to f2b- as suggested by buanzo in gh-462.
 | 
						|
   * Multiline filter for sendmail-spam. Close gh-418
 | 
						|
   * Multiline regex for Disconnecting: Too many authentication failures for
 | 
						|
     root [preauth]\nConnection closed by 6X.XXX.XXX.XXX [preauth]
 | 
						|
   * Multiline regex for Disconnecting: Connection from 61.XX.XX.XX port
 | 
						|
     51353\nToo many authentication failures for root [preauth]. Thanks
 | 
						|
     Helmut Grohne. Close gh-457
 | 
						|
   * Replacing use of deprecated API (.warning, .assertEqual, etc)
 | 
						|
   * [..a648cc2] Filters can have options now too which are substituted into
 | 
						|
     failregex / ignoreregex
 | 
						|
   * [..e019ab7] Multiple instances of the same action are allowed in the
 | 
						|
     same jail -- use actname option to disambiguate.
 | 
						|
   * Add honeypot email address to exim-spam filter as argument
 | 
						|
   * Properties and methods of actions accessible from fail2ban-client
 | 
						|
     - Use of properties replaces command actions "cinfo" interface
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- IMPORTANT incompatible changes:
 |

ver. 0.8.11 (2013/11/13) - loves-unittests-and-tight-DoS-free-filter-regexes
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In light of CVE-2013-2178 that triggered our last release we have put
 | 
						|
a significant effort into tightening all of the regexs of our filters
 | 
						|
to avoid another similar vulnerability. All filters have been updated
 | 
						|
and some to catch more login/authentication failures and to support
 | 
						|
for newer application versions. There are test cases for most log
 | 
						|
cases of failures now.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As usual, if you have other examples that demonstrate that a filter is
 | 
						|
insufficient, or if we have inadvertently introduced a regression,
 | 
						|
please provide us with example log lines on the github issue tracker
 | 
						|
http://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues and NOT on a random blog in
 | 
						|
some obscure corner of the Internet.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Many thanks to our contributors for this release Daniel Black, Yaroslav
 | 
						|
Halchenko, Steven Hiscocks, Mark McKinstry, Andy Fragen, Orion Poplawski,
 | 
						|
Alexander Dietrich, JP Espinosa, Jamyn Shanley, Beau Raines, François
 | 
						|
Boulogne and others who have helped on IRC and mailing list, logged issues
 | 
						|
and bug requests.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- IMPORTANT incompatible changes:
 | 
						|
  Filter name changes:
 | 
						|
   * 'lighttpd-fastcgi' filter has been renamed to 'suhosin'
 | 
						|
   * 'sasl' has been renamed to 'postfix-sasl'
 | 
						|
   * 'exim' spam catching failregexes was split out into 'exim-spam'
 | 
						|
  These changes will require changing jail.{conf,local} if any of
 | 
						|
  those filters were used.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Fixes:
 | 
						|
  Jonathan Lanning
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/asterisk -- identified another regex for blocking. Also channel
 | 
						|
     ID is hex not decimal as noted in sample logs provided.
 | 
						|
  Daniel Black & Marcel Dopita
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/apache-auth -- fixed and apache auth samples provide. Closes gh-286
 | 
						|
  Yaroslav Halchenko
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/common.conf -- make colon after [daemon] optional. Closes gh-267
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/apache-common.conf -- support apache 2.4 more detailed error
 | 
						|
     log format.  Closes gh-268
 | 
						|
   * Backends changes detection and parsing. Close gh-223 and gh-103:
 | 
						|
     - Polling backend: detect changes in the files not only based on
 | 
						|
       mtime, but also on the size and inode.  It should allow for
 | 
						|
       better detection of changes and log rotations on busy servers,
 | 
						|
       older python 2.4, and file systems with precision of mtime only
 | 
						|
       up to a second (e.g. ext3).
 | 
						|
     - All backends, possible race condition: do not read from a file
 | 
						|
       initially reported empty.  Originally could have lead to
 | 
						|
       accounting for detected log lines multiple times.
 | 
						|
     - Do not crash if executing a command in fail2ban-client interactive
 | 
						|
       mode has failed (e.g. due to incorrect syntax). Closes gh-353
 | 
						|
  Daniel Black & Мернов Георгий
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/dovecot.conf -- Fix when no TLS enabled - line doesn't end in ,
 | 
						|
  Daniel Black & Georgiy Mernov & ftoppi & Мернов Георгий
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/exim.conf -- regex hardening and extra failure examples in
 | 
						|
     sample logs

						|
   * filter.d/named-refused.conf - BIND 9.9.3 regex changes
 | 
						|
  Daniel Black & Sebastian Arcus
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/asterisk -- more regexes
 | 
						|
  Daniel Black
 | 
						|
   * action.d/hostsdeny -- NOTE: new dependency 'ed'. Switched to use 'ed' across
 | 
						|
     all platforms to ensure permissions are the same before and after a ban.
 | 
						|
     Closes gh-266. hostsdeny supports daemon_list now too.
 | 
						|
   * action.d/bsd-ipfw - action option unused. Change blocktype to port unreach
 | 
						|
     instead of deny for consistancy.
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/dovecot - added to support different dovecot failure
 | 
						|
     "..disallowed plaintext auth". Closes Debian bug #709324
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/roundcube-auth - timezone offset can be positive or negative
 | 
						|
   * action.d/bsd-ipfw - action option unused. Fixed to blocktype for
 | 
						|
     consistency. default to port unreach instead of deny
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/dropbear - fix regexs to match standard dropbear and the patched
 | 
						|
     http://www.unchartedbackwaters.co.uk/files/dropbear/dropbear-0.52.patch
 | 
						|
     and add PAM is it in dropbear-2013.60 source code.
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/{asterisk,assp,dovecot,proftpd}.conf -- regex hardening
 | 
						|
     and extra failure examples in sample logs
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/apache-auth - added expressions for mod_authz, mod_auth and
 | 
						|
     mod_auth_digest failures.
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/recidive -- support f2b syslog target and anchor regex at start
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/mysqld-auth.conf - mysql can use syslog
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/sshd - regex enhancements to support openssh-6.3. Closes Debian
 | 
						|
     bug #722970. Thanks Colin Watson for the regex analysis.
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/wuftpd - regex enhancements to support pam and wuftpd. Closes
 | 
						|
     Debian bug #665925

						|
  Rolf Fokkens
 | 
						|
   * action.d/dshield.conf and complain.conf -- reorder mailx arguments.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  John Doe (ache)
 | 
						|
   * action.d/bsd-ipfw.conf - invert actionstop logic to make exist status 0.
 | 
						|
     Closes gh-343.
 | 
						|
  JP Espinosa (Reviewed by O.Poplawski)
 | 
						|
   * files/redhat-initd - rewritten to use stock init.d functions thus
 | 
						|
     avoiding problems with getpid.  Also $network and iptables moved
 | 
						|
     to Should- rc init fields
 | 
						|
  Rick Mellor
 | 
						|
   * filter.d/vsftp - fix capture with tty=ftp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- New Features:
 | 
						|
  Edgar Hoch

 | 
						|
     from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979622

ver. 0.7.0 (2006/08/23) - alpha
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
- Almost a complete rewrite :) Fail2ban design is really better (IMHO). There is
 | 
						|
  a lot of new features
 | 
						|
- Client/Server architecture
 | 
						|
- Multithreading. Each jail has its own threads: one for the log reading and
 | 
						|
  another for the actions
 | 
						|
- Execute several actions
 | 
						|
- Split configuration files. They are more readable and easy to use
 | 
						|
- failregex uses group (<host>) now. This feature was already present in the
 | 
						|
  Debian package
 | 
						|
- lots of things...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ver. 0.6.1 (2006/03/16) - stable
 | 
						|

						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|

						|
- Added SMTP authentification for mail notification. Thanks to Markus Hoffmann
 | 
						|
- Removed debug mode as it is confusing for people
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  Edgington

 | 
						|
  Börjesson
 | 
						|
- Removed 192.168.0.0/16 from ignoreip. Attacks could also come from the local
 | 
						|
  network.
 | 
						|
- Robust startup: if iptables module does not get fully initialized after
 | 
						|
  startup of fail2ban, fail2ban will do "maxreinit" attempts to initialize its
 | 
						|
  own firewall. It will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of seconds
 | 
						|
  (closes Debian: #334272). Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
 | 
						|
- Added "interpolations" in fail2ban.conf. This is provided by the ConfigParser
 | 
						|
  module. Old configuration files still work. Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
 | 
						|
- Added initial support for hosts.deny and shorewall. Need more testing. Please
 | 
						|
  test. Thanks to kojiro from Gentoo forum for hosts.deny support
 | 
						|
- Added support for vsftpd. Thanks to zugeschmiert
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
ver. 0.5.5 (2005/10/26) - beta
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
- Propagated patches introduced by Debian maintainer (Yaroslav Halchenko):
 | 
						|
  * Introduced fwcheck option to verify consistency of the chains. Implemented
 | 
						|
    automatic restart of fail2ban main function in case check of fwban or
 | 
						|
    fwunban command failed (closes: #329163, #331695). (Introduced patch was
 | 
						|
    further adjusted by upstream author).
 | 
						|
  * Added -f command line parameter for [findtime].
 | 
						|
  * Added a cleanup of firewall rules on emergency shutdown when unknown
 | 
						|
    exception is catched.
 | 
						|
  * Fail2ban should not crash now if a wrong file name is specified in config.
 | 
						|
  * reordered code a bit so that log targets are setup right after background
 | 
						|
    and then only loglevel (verbose, debug) is processed, so the warning could
 | 
						|
    be seen in the logs
 | 
						|
  * Added a keyword <section> in parsing of the subject and the body of an email
 | 
						|
    sent out by fail2ban (closes: #330311)

						|
 |
