fail2ban (0.7.5-2etch1~pre3) stable-security; urgency=low
* NOT RELEASED YET
* Propagated fix for asctime pattern from 0.7.8 release (closes: #421848)
* Propagated fix for not closed log files from 0.7.8-1
(closes: #439962,434368)
* Propagated fix for "reload" bug which is as sever as #439962 and just
never was hit by any Debian user yet

* NEWS.Debian confusions - the latest NEWS entry and postinst message were

addresses of abuse departments present in the output of whois is a
tentative solution for semi-automatic abuse reporting (Closes: #358810)

since it is of different nature and might be not appropriate for some
users
* Forced owner/permissions of log file to be root:adm/640 in postinst and
logrotate (closes: #352053)
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Mon, 16 Jan 2006 04:05:19 -0500

DEFAULT section and required options (port, protocol) were added
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Thu, 12 Jan 2006 18:32:14 -0500
fail2ban (0.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
* fail2ban path is inserted first in the list to avoid a conflict with
existing elsewhere modules with the same names. (Thanks for report and
patch to Nick Craig-Wood) (closes: #343821)
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Mon, 19 Dec 2005 17:44:58 +0200
fail2ban (0.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Merged with the latest stable upstream release. That incure some
changes for the Debian configuration of the package to be more
upstream-like. Visible one is: subject in the sent email includes
section outside of "[Fail2Ban]"
* Updated README.Debian to answer possible question regarding effective
bantime starting moment
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Sun, 20 Nov 2005 14:56:41 -0500
fail2ban (0.5.4-10) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed the order of ssh and apache rules to avoid possible race
condition (Thanks to Jefferson Cowart for the bug report) (closes:
#339133)
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Mon, 14 Nov 2005 23:44:45 -0500
fail2ban (0.5.4-9) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed init.d script so it doesn't return non-0 status if fail2ban is not
running. That fixes issues with purging the package and leaving garbage in
/usr/share/fail2ban (Thanx to Justin Pryzby for the insight)
(closes: #337223)
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Thu, 3 Nov 2005 17:05:20 -0500
fail2ban (0.5.4-8) unstable; urgency=low
* Added config option MAIL.localtime (closes: #336449)
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Mon, 31 Oct 2005 16:53:19 -0500
fail2ban (0.5.4-7) unstable; urgency=low
* Adjusted init.d script so it is resistant to delayed shutdowns of
fail2ban and in general more stable
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Thu, 20 Oct 2005 21:22:03 -0400
fail2ban (0.5.4-6.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed typos (thanx to Ross Boylan).
* Robust startup: if iptables module gets 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: #334272).
* To overcome possible conflict with other firewall solutions and as a
secondary solution for the bug 334272, fail2ban startup is moved
during bootup to the latest (S99) sequenece position. That should not
cause any discomfort I believe.
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:54:38 -0400
fail2ban (0.5.4-5.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a notification regarding the importance of 0.5.4-5 change of
failregex in the config file.
* Adjusted address to FSF.
* Adjusted failregex for SSH so it bans "Illegal user" entries as well, and
restricted full failregex more to include ":" at the beginning, because
otherwise it might not be sufficient and would revive bug 330827 (closes:
#333056).
* Adjusted failregex for SSH to accommodate recent changes in logging of
SSH: Illegal -> Invalid. Should match both now.
* Fixed a problem of raise AttributeError exception reported as a side
effect of crash during parsing of the config file.
* 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].
* Fixed the issue of not respecting command line parameters for parameters
within sections.
* Added -e command line parameter to provide enabled sections from command
line.
* 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.
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Mon, 3 Oct 2005 22:26:28 -1000
fail2ban (0.5.4-5) unstable; urgency=low
* Made failregex'es more specific to don't allow usernames to be used as a
tool for denial of service attacks. Config files (or at least
failregex'es) must be updated from this package, otherwise the security
breach would remain open and only warning gets issued (closes: #330827)

fail2ban (0.5.4-4) unstable; urgency=low

fail2ban (0.5.4-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Resolved the mystery of debug mode in which commands are not really
executed: added verbose option to config file, removed -v from
/etc/default/fail2ban, 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
-- Yaroslav Halchenko <debian@onerussian.com> Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:20:43 -1000
fail2ban (0.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Now exporting PATH explicitely in init.d/fail2ban script, to avoid
problems finding iptables in the cases when PATH was not exported outside
(cfengine, broken shell environment) (closes: #329304)
* Removed -b from start-stop-daemon because fail2ban detahes on its own
* Added @localhost to MAIL:from and MAIL:to in fail2ban.conf and placed
a note to README.Debian regarding necessity to specify full email
address in MAIL:from (closes: #329722)
* Added a keyword <section> in parsing of the subject and the body of an
email sent out by fail2ban (closes: #330311)
