Details

Description: fail2ban-0.9.0-3 has moved to using python3, but in the process has brought in a bug wherein due to an upstream python bug, fail2ban no longer works (won't start jails, (un)ban IPs, ...). In short, the bug appears to be due to how fail2ban open/closes /dev/urandom through Python.

The issue has been noticed upstream, and a patch has been committed to Python3.4's tree, but it hasn't arrived in a release yet.

See upstream reports:
