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