Updated fail2ban packages fix regression

Publication date: 17 Nov 2022
Modification date: 17 Nov 2022
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 8

Description

Update of major version of fail2ban with primary target to fix a
dovecot-filter regression.
Fixes
  Backend systemd: code review and several fixes:
    Wait only if it is necessary, e. g. in operational mode and if no more
    entries retrieved (end of journal).
    Ensure we give enough time after possible rotation, vacuuming or
    adding/removing journal files, and move cursor back and forth to avoid
    entering dead space.
  filter.d/named-refused.conf
    Support BIND named log categories, gh-3388.
    Allow info: as possible error prefix too ("query (cache) denied" may
    occur as info)
  filter.d/dovecot.conf:
  Fixes regression introduced in gh-3210: resolve extremely long search by
  repeated apply of non-greedy RE-part with following branches (it may be
  extremely slow up to infinite search depending on message), gh-3370
  Fixes regression and matches new format in aggressive mode too (amend to
  gh-3210)
