When using fail2ban to monitor Apache logs, improper input validation in log parsing could enable a remote attacker to trigger an IP ban on arbitrary addresses, thus causing a denial of service. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.4-3+squeeze2. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.6-3wheezy2. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.10-1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.10-1. We recommend that you upgrade your fail2ban packages.
