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