patch

Hi,

I recently noticed fail2ban was not banning ssh failed user logins anymore, so I had a look.

I'm on FreeBSD head and failed logins for non existing users now look like this:

Mar 25 10:22:08 vogon sshd[1311]: Invalid user mysql from 220.149.231.165 port 40772

There is also the port there.

Not sure when the change happened, so I asses a new regexp to the bsd-sshd.conf file.

I'm attaching a patch.

Thanks!

@Guido

Is this (output) contingent on syslog or openssh (in base) versions?
Is the output different for non-CURENT (versions)
Can this be reported upstream?

AFAIK this depends on openssh in base

> Is the output different for non-CURENT (versions)

I made a mistake, the output I'm observing is from 12.1. That's the FreeBSD version I have on servers.

A quick test shows the same output on HEAD and also on 11.3 (installed in a VM)

So this affects all currently supported releases.

> Can this be reported upstream?

I don't think so, since these filters are only included in the FreeBSD port, and there is no trace of BSD specific filters in the upstream repo. I checked this, because my first try at reporting this was to fork their repo on github.
Comment 3 Guido Falsi freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-03-27 11:53:21 UTC
This could be a regression brought by the 0.11.1 upgrade. I don't have logs going back then, so I can't say for sure.

patch

If it passes QA (packaging, tunetime), this change is:

Approved by: portmgr (blanket: run-time bugfix)

If quarterly is affected:

MFH: 2020Q1 (blanket: run-time bugfix)
Comment 5 theis 2020-03-27 12:26:25 UTC
I wouldn't wait for quarterly merge, the ssh filter is one of the more important ones.

@Guido: will you report to upstream so they can merge your patch?

And on a side note, one patch from me, 244092, is pending. Just saying because we are now both changing the port revision.
Comment 6 Guido Falsi freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-03-27 14:15:46 UTC
(In reply to theis from comment #5)

I'm performing proper QA, and will commit ASAP.

A quick test shows quarterly is not affected.

The regression has not been triggered by any change in logging format.

I now think the regression is triggered by the switch to python3, which has a different take on the regexp. I'm not a python expert and don't know how to further check this.



Regarding reporting this upstream, as I said, I have had a look at upstream repository, but the file I modified does not exist there and there is no corresponding regexp in their files, so I would not really know what to report.
Comment 7 Guido Falsi freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-03-27 15:27:25 UTC
Not going to merge to quarterly, testing shows it's working fine there.

A commit references this bug:

Author: madpilot
Date: Fri Mar 27 15:29:21 UTC 2020
New revision: 529264
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/529264

Log:
  Add new regexp to match invalid users to bsd-ssh filter.

  I have observed a regression where the old expression was not
  working. Looks like the regression was caused by the migration to
  python 3.

  As far as I can see the quarterly branch is not affected.
