cphulk and host access control stopped working after upgrade?

[kjg]

Getting thousands of emails saying "Large Number of Failed Login Attempts from IP 64.185.237.173" since an hour back

The IP is added to brutes and blocked with expiration 2009-01-01, but after a while it starts all over again.

Also tried to stop the IP via host acces control (all deny) but it seems not to work either.

I don't understand this. A guess is that the db is flushed all the time making it possible for the attacker to continue.

We have the problem on the 3 servers that are upgraded to 11.24.4

cPanel 11.24.4-R32470 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
CENTOS 5.2

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Would it be possible to get you to submit a support ticket so that we may take a look at this server? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the exact same problem, 11K+ emails with login attempts in 2 days since the update.

Tried reconfiguring CPHulk to no avail.

Keep me informed on any progress on this.

Thanks, Hans.

Yes, I am experiencing this SAME problem since the upgrade. Thousands upon thousands of emails... opened support ticket yesterday but so far no reply.

We have the same problem, after the update.
cPanel 11.24.4-R32603 - WHM 11.24.2 - X 3.9
FREEBSD 6.2 i386 on standard

Users don't get blocked. The expiration time just gets renewed.

Update:
We posted a ticket to support and they solved it after a while.
According to them, there will be a fix in the next release.

Seems that the protection works ok, but the system keeps sending emails also after the ip is blocked.

As I said in the post above, the cpanel tech people solved it and told me:

"The issue (multiple E-Mails for a brute force attack) has been patched and will be available in revision 32707+."

I got that answer dec 30 and some 14 hours later I got the following:
"The fix is being tested and should be out in all 11.24 Builds soon."

So I guess it is on its way
