March 2009

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Server Check on cPanel to make the PHP v4 warning clear and to warn where PHP v5 and v4 have both been compiled (PHP v4 is obsolete and should not be used at all anymore)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
