description: |
  Krzysztof Katowicz-Kowalewski discovered a vulnerability in Fail2ban, a log
  monitoring and system which can act on attack by preventing hosts to connect
  to specified services using the local firewall.

  When using Fail2ban to monitor Apache logs, improper input validation in log
  parsing could enable a remote attacker to trigger an IP ban on arbitrary
  addresses, thus causing a denial of service (CVE-2013-2178).
