csf

New csf v14.12

Changes:

  • Added cPanel SaaS servers to cpanel.allow
  • Added a fix for RHEL v8 processes that were reporting excessive null or whitespace characters at the end of /prod/[pid]/cmdline. This is turn meant that such processes (e.g. spamd on cPanel servers) subverted some entries in csf.pignore
  • Updated systemd entries in csf.logignore for RHEL v8+
  • Updated dovecot log regexes to support the changed format in v2.3.15+
  • Modify LookUpIP to hopefully account for data inconsistencies from Maxmind

New csf v14.11

Changes:

  • Added entries in csf.pignore for new cPanel installations:
    exe:/usr/sbin/mariadbd
    exe:/usr/sbin/atd
    exe:/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timesyncd
    exe:/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-networkd
    exe:/usr/sbin/rsyslogd
  • Updated configuration files to support cPanel on Ubuntu
  • In Server Check don’t check for Fork Bomb protection on cPanel servers running CloudLinux

New csf v14.10

Changes:

  • Fixed error message regarding location/permissions to the iptables binary in correctly referencing ip6tables
  • Added PASV port range hole for VZ servers on cPanel for new installs
  • Fixed MESSENGERV3 Apache tree search where ServerRoot is not configured so that csf defaults to /etc/apache2/ so that relative Includes are still defined correctly
  • Modified LF_BIND regex to deal with new log field

New csf v14.09

Changes:

  • Improvements to CC IP lookup binary search
  • Modified index.recaptcha.php and index.php to use square instead of deprecated curly brackets on array index for PHP v7.4+
  • Modified Server Check regex matching on include in dovecot config files in RHEL v8+
  • Added workaround for iOS issue with bootstrap modals
  • Added EOL messages to Server Check report
  • Modified dovecot.conf parsing on cPanel for include_try in Server Check
  • Modified Apache 404 regex to check for either “info” or “error”
  • Added two new CLI options: –temprma [ip], –temprmd [ip]. This allows distinction between allow and deny that does not exist for –temprm [ip]
  • Updated UI to offer either –temprma [ip] or –temprmd [ip] instead of –temprm [ip]
  • Added PHP v7.2 EOL notice to Server Report

New csf v14.08

Changes:

  • Added missing images/ subdir to webmin and interworx installers
  • Added new option LF_TEMP_EMAIL_ALERT. This allows the disabling of temp IP block emails. It is enabled by default (send temp email alerts as before)

New csf v14.07

Changes:

  • Added missing images/ subdir to DA installer

New csf v14.06

Changes:

  • If DOCKER is enabled and the iptables nat table exists, csf now creates a DOCKER chain in the nat table for IPv4
  • cPanel additions to csf.pignore on new and existing installs
  • Disable reputation service on error
  • Added new options MESSENGERV3PERMS and MESSENGERV3GROUP for the creation of the MESSENGER_USER public_html directory. See csf.conf for information, defaults set for each install control panel type where possible
  • Added exe:/sbin/rngd to csf.pignore for new installations

ConfigServer Scripts on cPanel v92 and CentOS v8

For those venturing into the new world of cPanel v92 in the EDGE tier on CentOS v8.2, our initial tests show that all of our scripts and products install and work as expected.

We had already done extensive work on CentOS v8 with csf, cxs and MailScanner to ensure they work in this new OS iteration (mostly on DirectAdmin) and the cPanel environment continues to provide for the resources needed to make installation, configuration and functionality straightforward.

New csf v14.05

Changes:

  • Modified dovecot pop3d/imapd log line parsing to repeat single lines reporting multiple login failure attempts
  • Additional entries in csf.pignore for new installs on CyberPanel v2
  • cPanel additions to csf.pignore on new and existing installs
  • Convert embedded IPv4 addresses in /proc/net/tcp6 back to IPv4

New csf v14.04

Changes:

  • Added two new options: CC_MESSENGER_ALLOW, CC_MESSENGER_DENY. These options can control which Country Code IP blocks are redirected to the MESSENGER service, if it is enabled
  • Fixed some typos in csf.conf
  • Added DirectAdmin diagnostics to the admin UI for session security checks, together with a method to skip the checks if desired
