  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. ????-??-?? - v0.6.6
  3. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  4. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  5. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  6. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  7. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  8. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  9. against TKIP deficiencies
  10. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  11. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  12. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  13. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  14. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  15. not bytes
  16. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  17. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  18. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  19. needed with that version anymore)
  20. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  21. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  22. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  23. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  24. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  25. (IEEE 802.11w)
  26. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  27. use correct FTIE
  28. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  29. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  30. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  31. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  32. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  33. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  34. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  35. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  36. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  37. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  38. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  39. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  40. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  41. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  42. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  43. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  44. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  45. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  46. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  47. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  48. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  49. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  50. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  51. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  52. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  53. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  54. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  55. present random binary data)
  56. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  57. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  58. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  59. when an interface is added
  60. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  61. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  62. indicating when new scan results become available
  63. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  64. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  65. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  66. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  67. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  68. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  69. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  70. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  71. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  72. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  73. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  74. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  75. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  76. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  77. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  78. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  79. versions
  80. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  81. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  82. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  83. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  84. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  85. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  86. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  87. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  88. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  89. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  90. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  91. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  92. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  93. [Bug 237]
  94. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  95. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  96. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  97. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  98. in .config
  99. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  100. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  101. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  102. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  103. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  104. work with new features
  105. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  106. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  107. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  108. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  109. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  110. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  111. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  112. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  113. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  114. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  115. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  116. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  117. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  118. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  119. PAC-Opaque)
  120. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  121. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  122. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  123. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  124. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  125. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  126. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  127. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  128. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  129. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  130. [Bug 232]
  131. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  132. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  133. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  134. buffer read overflow
  135. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  136. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  137. be lost
  138. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  139. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  140. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  141. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  142. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  143. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  144. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  145. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  146. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  147. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  148. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  149. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  150. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  151. different)
  152. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  153. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  154. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  155. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  156. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  157. for PAC provisioning)
  158. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  159. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  160. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  161. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  162. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  163. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  164. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  165. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  166. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  167. added support for EAP-FAST
  168. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  169. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  170. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  171. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  172. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  173. (still experimental)
  174. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  175. if TLS library initialization fails
  176. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  177. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  178. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  179. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  180. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  181. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  182. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  183. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  184. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  185. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  186. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  187. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  188. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  189. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  190. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  191. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  192. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  193. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  194. frame protection)
  195. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  196. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  197. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  198. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  199. immediately without sending a command
  200. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  201. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  202. use PIN)
  203. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  204. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  205. partial AID
  206. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  207. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  208. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  209. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  210. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  211. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  212. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  213. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  214. parameter is not exposed
  215. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  216. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  217. (wide-char functions)
  218. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  219. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  220. keys
  221. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  222. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  223. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  224. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  225. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  226. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  227. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  228. when determining whether there are pending messages
  229. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  230. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  231. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  232. localhost was used)
  233. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  234. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  235. future versions)
  236. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  237. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  238. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  239. case when group is not changed
  240. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  241. Windows version
  242. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  243. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  244. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  245. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  246. used even if the source address does not match with it
  247. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  248. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  249. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  250. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  251. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  252. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  253. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  254. implementation
  255. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  256. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  257. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  258. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  259. USB) [Bug 113]
  260. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  261. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  262. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  263. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  264. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  265. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  266. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  267. to be enabled)
  268. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  269. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  270. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  271. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  272. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  273. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  274. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  275. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  276. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  277. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  278. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  279. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  280. is terminated
  281. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  282. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  283. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  284. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  285. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  286. included)
  287. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  288. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  289. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  290. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  291. a raw PSK (hex string)
  292. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  293. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  294. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  295. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  296. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  297. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  298. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  299. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  300. status changes or when associating with a different network
  301. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  302. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  303. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  304. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  305. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  306. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  307. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  308. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  309. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  310. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  311. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  312. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  313. handle
  314. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  315. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  316. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  317. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  318. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  319. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  320. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  321. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  322. only one application to open the device
  323. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  324. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  325. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  326. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  327. when specifying the interface
  328. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  329. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  330. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  331. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  332. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  333. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  334. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  335. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  336. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  337. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  338. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  339. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  340. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  341. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  342. in Windows registry
  343. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  344. Windows registry
  345. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  346. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  347. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  348. that can use this information)
  349. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  350. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  351. [Bug 140]
  352. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  353. primitive
  354. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  355. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  356. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  357. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  358. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  359. on how to use this)
  360. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  361. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  362. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  363. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  364. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  365. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  366. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  367. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  368. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  369. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  370. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  371. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  372. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  373. instead of a static list generated at build time
  374. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  375. removing PMKSA entries
  376. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  377. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  378. WPA/RSN IE
  379. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  380. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  381. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  382. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  383. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  384. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  385. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  386. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  387. option can be changed if needed
  388. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  389. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  390. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  391. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  392. recommended)
  393. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  394. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  395. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  396. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  397. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  398. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  399. not likely to happen in real use.
  400. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  401. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  402. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  403. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  404. ap_scan=2)
  405. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  406. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  407. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  408. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  409. and stakey=1)
  410. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  411. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  412. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  413. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  414. other C libraries and compilers
  415. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  416. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  417. code more portable
  418. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  419. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  420. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  421. example makefile for nmake
  422. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  423. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  424. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  425. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  426. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  427. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  428. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  429. unregister a service
  430. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  431. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  432. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  433. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  434. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  435. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  436. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  437. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  438. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  439. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  440. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  441. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  442. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  443. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  444. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  445. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  446. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  447. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  448. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  449. 3 ms
  450. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  451. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  452. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  453. configuration blob
  454. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  455. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  456. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  457. session resumption
  458. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  459. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  460. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  461. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  462. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  463. easily on cross-compilation builds
  464. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  465. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  466. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  467. Windows service
  468. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  469. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  470. release since it is not needed anymore
  471. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  472. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  473. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  474. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  475. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  476. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  477. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  478. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  479. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  480. during handshake
  481. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  482. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  483. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  484. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  485. would get
  486. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  487. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  488. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  489. cannot be parsed successfully
  490. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  491. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  492. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  493. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  494. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  495. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  496. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  497. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  498. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  499. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  500. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  501. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  502. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  503. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  504. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  505. private_key
  506. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  507. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  508. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  509. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  510. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  511. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  512. system-wide trusted CA list
  513. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  514. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  515. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  516. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  517. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  518. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  519. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  520. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  521. wpa_supplicant process
  522. * wpa_gui:
  523. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  524. - added WEP key configuration
  525. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  526. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  527. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  528. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  529. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  530. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  531. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  532. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  533. EAP authentication immediately after association
  534. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  535. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  536. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  537. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  538. generate, e.g., man pages
  539. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  540. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  541. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  542. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  543. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  544. frame
  545. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  546. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  547. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  548. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  549. Ethernet
  550. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  551. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  552. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  553. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  554. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  555. these multicast addresses by default
  556. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  557. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  558. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  559. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  560. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  561. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  562. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  563. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  564. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  565. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  566. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  567. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  568. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  569. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  570. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  571. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  572. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  573. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  574. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  575. this with private_key)
  576. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  577. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  578. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  579. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  580. with drivers that do not support WPA
  581. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  582. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  583. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  584. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  585. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  586. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  587. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  588. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  589. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  590. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  591. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  592. the control interface, for example:
  593. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  594. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  595. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  596. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  597. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  598. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  599. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  600. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  601. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  602. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  603. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  604. open network configuration)
  605. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  606. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  607. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  608. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  609. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  610. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  611. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  612. (l2_packet_*.c)
  613. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  614. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  615. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  616. this)
  617. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  618. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  619. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  620. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  621. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  622. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  623. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  624. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  625. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  626. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  627. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  628. NDIS drivers
  629. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  630. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  631. configuration file
  632. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  633. processing
  634. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  635. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  636. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  637. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  638. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  639. the key in this case
  640. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  641. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  642. driver_ops function set_param()
  643. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  644. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  645. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  646. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  647. entered as a number, not group name
  648. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  649. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  650. cards
  651. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  652. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  653. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  654. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  655. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  656. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  657. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  658. authentication session
  659. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  660. password has expired)
  661. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  662. and adding them to the certificate chain
  663. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  664. were used
  665. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  666. identity or password is entered through control interface
  667. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  668. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  669. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  670. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  671. Qt development tools)
  672. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  673. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  674. 'reassociate' command has been used
  675. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  676. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  677. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  678. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  679. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  680. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  681. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  682. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  683. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  684. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  685. debugging code is not needed
  686. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  687. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  688. overflow
  689. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  690. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  691. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  692. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  693. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  694. but they may be removed in the future)
  695. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  696. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  697. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  698. interoperate with some authentication servers
  699. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  700. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  701. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  702. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  703. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  704. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  705. delayed until the PIN is available
  706. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  707. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  708. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  709. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  710. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  711. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  712. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  713. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  714. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  715. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  716. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  717. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  718. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  719. events
  720. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  721. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  722. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  723. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  724. using assoc_info events
  725. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  726. process id into a file
  727. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  728. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  729. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  730. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  731. authentication servers
  732. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  733. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  734. ap_scan=2)
  735. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  736. identity/password/otp
  737. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  738. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  739. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  740. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  741. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  742. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  743. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  744. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  745. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  746. when no matching AP is found
  747. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  748. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  749. when using WPA2-PSK
  750. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  751. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  752. retransmission of dropped frames)
  753. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  754. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  755. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  756. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  757. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  758. requires EAP workarounds
  759. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  760. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  761. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  762. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  763. authentication attempt
  764. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  765. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  766. verified)
  767. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  768. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  769. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  770. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  771. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  772. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  773. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  774. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  775. supports WPA-None)
  776. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  777. mingw
  778. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  779. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  780. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  781. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  782. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  783. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  784. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  785. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  786. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  787. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  788. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  789. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  790. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  791. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  792. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  793. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  794. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  795. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  796. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  797. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  798. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  799. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  800. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  801. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  802. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  803. running)
  804. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  805. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  806. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  807. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  808. the interface name
  809. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  810. file
  811. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  812. when exiting
  813. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  814. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  815. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  816. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  817. information
  818. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  819. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  820. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  821. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  822. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  823. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  824. authentication
  825. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  826. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  827. unicast key)
  828. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  829. drivers
  830. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  831. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  832. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  833. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  834. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  835. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  836. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  837. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  838. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  839. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  840. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  841. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  842. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  843. group, proto variables
  844. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  845. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  846. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  847. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  848. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  849. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  850. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  851. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  852. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  853. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  854. the association
  855. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  856. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  857. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  858. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  859. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  860. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  861. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  862. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  863. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  864. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  865. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  866. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  867. reply
  868. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  869. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  870. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  871. label which is thus more suitable default option
  872. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  873. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  874. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  875. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  876. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  877. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  878. WEP keys)
  879. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  880. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  881. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  882. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  883. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  884. session resumption)
  885. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  886. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  887. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  888. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  889. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  890. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  891. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  892. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  893. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  894. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  895. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  896. drivers expect this
  897. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  898. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  899. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  900. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  901. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  902. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  903. v17 or newer
  904. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  905. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  906. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  907. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  908. forever
  909. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  910. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  911. argument to match the previous behavior
  912. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  913. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  914. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  915. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  916. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  917. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  918. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  919. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  920. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  921. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  922. association
  923. * changed driver interface API:
  924. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  925. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  926. not defined)
  927. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  928. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  929. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  930. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  931. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  932. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  933. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  934. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  935. sequential EAP packets
  936. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  937. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  938. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  939. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  940. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  941. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  942. configuration
  943. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  944. IEs than just one WPA IE
  945. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  946. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  947. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  948. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  949. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  950. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  951. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  952. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  953. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  954. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  955. for the broadcast key
  956. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  957. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  958. WPA
  959. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  960. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  961. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  962. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  963. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  964. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  965. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  966. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  967. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  968. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  969. supporting wireless extensions.
  970. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  971. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  972. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  973. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  974. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  975. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  976. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  977. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  978. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  979. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  980. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  981. started again
  982. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  983. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  984. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  985. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  986. frontend is attached
  987. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  988. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  989. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  990. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  991. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  992. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  993. the control interface;
  994. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  995. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  996. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  997. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  998. * added support for LEAP
  999. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1000. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1001. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1002. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1003. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1004. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1005. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1006. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1007. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1008. TLS processing
  1009. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1010. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1011. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1012. automatically)
  1013. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1014. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1015. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1016. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1017. from the station)
  1018. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1019. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1020. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1021. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1022. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1023. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1024. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1025. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1026. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1027. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1028. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1029. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1030. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1031. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1032. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1033. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1034. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1035. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1036. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1037. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1038. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1039. EAP-GTC
  1040. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1041. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1042. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1043. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1044. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1045. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1046. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1047. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1048. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1049. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1050. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1051. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1052. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1053. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1054. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1055. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1056. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1057. anyway for TLS)
  1058. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1059. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1060. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1061. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1062. Supplicant
  1063. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1064. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1065. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1066. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1067. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1068. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1069. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1070. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1071. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1072. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1073. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1074. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1075. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1076. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1077. option
  1078. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1079. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1080. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1081. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1082. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1083. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1084. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1085. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1086. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1087. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1088. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1089. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1090. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1091. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1092. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1093. wpa_supplicant
  1094. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1095. mode
  1096. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1097. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1098. - .config file for make
  1099. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1100. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1101. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1102. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
