 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2013:078
 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : fail2ban
 Date    : April 9, 2013
 Affected: Business Server 1.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Updated fail2ban package fixes security vulnerability:
 
 fail2ban before 0.8.8 didn't escape the content of \<matches\> (if used
 in custom action files), which could cause issues on the system running
 fail2ban as it scans log files, depending on what content is matched,
 since that content could contain arbitrary symbols (CVE-2012-5642).
