-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-20619 2012-12-19 07:54:20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : fail2ban Product : Fedora 17 Version : 0.8.8 Release : 1.fc17 URL : http://fail2ban.sourceforge.net/ Summary : Ban IPs that make too many password failures Description : Fail2ban scans log files like /var/log/pwdfail or /var/log/apache/error_log and bans IP that makes too many password failures. It updates firewall rules to reject the IP address. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update to 0.8.8 (CVE-2012-5642 Bug #887914) - Fixes: * Alan Jenkins * [8c38907] Removed 'POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT' from sshd filter to avoid banning due to misconfigured DNS. Close gh-64 * Yaroslav Halchenko * [83109bc] IMPORTANT: escape the content of <matches> (if used in custom action files) since its value could contain arbitrary symbols. Thanks for discovery go to the NBS System security team * [b159eab] do not enable pyinotify backend if pyinotify < 0.8.3 * [37a2e59] store IP as a base, non-unicode str to avoid spurious messages in the console. Close gh-91 - New features: * David Engeset * [2d672d1,6288ec2] 'unbanip' command for the client + avoidance of touching the log file to take 'banip' or 'unbanip' in effect. Close gh-81, gh-86 * Yaroslav Halchenko - Enhancements: * [2d66f31] replaced uninformative "Invalid command" message with warning log exception why command actually failed * [958a1b0] improved failregex to "support" auth.backend = "htdigest" * [9e7a3b7] until we make it proper module -- adjusted sys.path only if system-wide run * [f52ba99] downgraded "already banned" from WARN to INFO level. Closes gh-79 * [f105379] added hints into the log on some failure return codes (e.g. 0x7f00 for this gh-87) * Various others: travis-ci integration, script to run tests against all available Python versions, etc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Dec 17 2012 Orion Poplawski <orion@cora.nwra.com> - 0.8.8-1 - Update to 0.8.8 (CVE-2012-5642 Bug #887914) * Thu Oct 11 2012 Orion Poplawski <orion@cora.nwra.com> - 0.8.7.1-1 - Update to 0.8.7.1 - Drop fd_cloexec, pyinotify, and examplemail patches fixed upstream - Rebase sshd and notmp patches - Use _initddir macro * Thu Jul 19 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> - 0.8.4-29 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #887914 - CVE-2012-5642 fail2ban: does not escape the content of <matches> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887914 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
