General

Changes:

• Modified lfd iptables command error handling to log errors and continue instead of terminating when in TESTING mode
• Removed loading of iptables modules from csftest.pl to avoid modprobe problems with some OS kernels
• Added Connection Tracking check for pre-existing block to cater for linux connection status timeouts
• Moved LF_CSF check to the start of the lfd processing interval
• New option LF_ALERT_FROM. If set, the value of this option will override the From: field in all of the lfd alert templates. This change also uses the From: field in the template (or this option if set) as the value for the SENDMAIL -f option
• Modified POP/IMAP Server Checks for the chosen mail server only on cPanel servers
• Modified FTP Server Checks for the chosen ftp server only on cPanel servers
• Added SMTP Tweak to Server Check on cPanel servers and removed block on csf starting if enabled

Changes:

• Modified cipher checks to strip out quotes
• Modified Apache cipher message to remoind that you have to rebuild the Apache configuration and restart for changes to be effective

Changes:

• Added proftpd regex for Plesk server log file format
• Modifed the Server Check cipher checks for pure-ftpd and Apache to use openssl to ensure SSLv2 is disabled
• Added cPanel Server Check checks for dovecot, courier-imap IMAP and POP3D SSL cipher list
• New option SAFECHAINUPDATE added. If enabled, all dynamic update chains (GALLOW, GDENY, SPAMHAUS, DSHIELD, BOGON, CC_ALLOW, CC_DENY, ALLOWDYN) will create a new chain when updating, and insert it into the relevant LOCALINPUT/LOCALOUTPUT chain, then flush and delete the old dynamic chain and rename the new chain. See csf.conf for more information. This option is disabled by default, but we do recommend that it is enabled on non-VPS servers with restrictive numiptent values
• Added SAFECHAINUPDATE to the firewall Server Check (except for Virtuozzo VPS servers)
• Modified Server Check on cPanel to make the PHP v4 warning clear and to warn where PHP v5 and v4 have both been compiled (PHP v4 is obsolete and should not be used at all anymore)
• Added WHM checks for skipparentcheck and cpsrvd-domainlookup to Security Check
• New option LF_ALERT_TO. If set, the value of this option will override the To: field in all of the lfd alert templates

Changes:

• Modified exim cipher check in Server Check to use openssl to test the expanded configured cipher suites to ensure SSLv2 is disabled

Changes:

• Improved exim configuration option detection in Server Check
• Added Exim Configuration checks to DirectAdmin Server Check
• Modified csftest.pl to perform a modprobe on all used iptables modules before testing
• Added PASV port hole warning on VPS servers to the output of csf on start and to the cPanel (if using pure-ftpd) Server Check
• Added lfd to the DirectAdmin Service Monitor
• Added back a revised Firewall Security Level option to UI

I have confirmed csf compatibility with Debian v5.0Changes:

• Added TCP_OUT port 2222 for the DA default configuration for new installations
• Added ICMP protocol to Advanced Allow/Deny Filters. See readme.txt for more information and examples
• Updated readme.txt to reflect the Control Panel UI availability for cPanel, DirectAdmin and Webmin
• Modified mod_security configuration file check to the TLD only of /usr/local/apache/conf/ and only files ending in .conf

Changes:

• Fixed issue with csf.conf not being loaded for the Server Check Report
• Removed erroneous chkconfig check from Server Check Report
• Disabled various checks in Server Check Report for non-cPanel servers
• Modified Debian/Ubuntu init entry creation and removal procedure
• Modified Server Check to search for multiple named.conf locations

Changes:

• Bug fix to Exploit Check code
• Fixed problem with iptables logs not being collated if PS_INTERVAL is disabled but ST_ENABLE is enabled
• Fixed potential problem with SMTPRELAY_LOG not being scanned when RT_RELAY_ALERT, RT_AUTHRELAY_ALERT or RT_POPRELAY_ALERT enabled

Changes:

• Upgraded the csf Webmin UI module to the new csf UI and added installation/upgrade instructions to the install.txt for Webmin
• Fixed image locations and javascript in DA and webmin UI
• Updated the uninstall scripts and the uninstall section of install.txt

Changes:

• Reverted lfd signalling on cPanel servers to allow UI restarts of lfd
• Added warning in DA UI to upgrade csf from the root shell due to restrictions in DirectAdmin

NOTE: DA users should upgrade csf to this version from the root shell using “csf -u” and not use the Upgrade button in the UI
