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