Fail2Ban (version 0.9.0) 2014/03/14
================================================================================
ver. 0.9.0 (2014/03/14 - beta
----------
Carries all fixes, features and enhancements from 0.8.13 (unreleased) with
major changes.
The minimum supported python version is now 2.6. If you have python-2.4 or 2.5
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.
- New features:
* [..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
* Filter for stunnel
* Filter for Counter Strike 1.6. Thanks to onorua for logs.
Close gh-347
* Filter for squirrelmail. Close gh-261
* Filter for tine20. Close gh-583
* Custom date formats (strptime) can now be set in filters and jail.conf
* Python based actions can now be created.
- SMTP action for sending emails on jail start, stop and ban.
* Added action to use badips.com reporting and blacklist
- 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

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

* action.d/bsd-ipfw - action option unsed. 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

- New Features:
Edgar Hoch
* action.d/firewall-cmd-direct-new.conf - action for firewalld
from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=979622
NOTE: requires firewalld-0.3.8+
Andy Fragen and Daniel Black

and likewise for fail2ban.{conf|local|d/*.conf|d/*.local}. Closes gh-392
* jail.conf now has asterisk jail - no need for asterisk-tcp and
asterisk-udp. Users should replace existing jails with asterisk to
reduce duplicate parsing of the asterisk log file.
* filter.d/{suhosin,pam-generic,gssftpd,sogo-auth,webmin}- regex anchor at
start

own firewall. It will sleep between attempts for "polltime" number of seconds
(closes Debian: #334272). Thanks to Yaroslav Halchenko
