UBUNTU-CVE-2026-109786 (CVE-2026-109786)
Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-10-13 03:16 – Updated: 2026-10-28 17:50 – Source websiteIn fail2ban 0.10.5 through 1.1.1 before ddd879d, the sshd filter (config/filter.d/sshd.conf) accepts an "on " suffix after the host address. Because OpenSSH logs the offered username verbatim, a remote unauthenticated attacker can use a username such as "x VICTIM-SOURCE-IP-ADDRESS on" to make fail2ban associate failed login attempts with an arbitrary source IP address and ban it (e.g., to block logins from a legitimate user). The default filter mode is affected.
