  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. ????-??-?? - v0.6.7
  3. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  4. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  5. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  6. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  7. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  8. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  9. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  10. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  11. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  12. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  13. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  14. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  15. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  16. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  17. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  18. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  19. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  20. against TKIP deficiencies
  21. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  22. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  23. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  24. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  25. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  26. not bytes
  27. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  28. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  29. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  30. needed with that version anymore)
  31. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  32. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  33. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  34. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  35. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  36. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  37. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  38. about
  39. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  40. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  41. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  42. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  43. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  44. (IEEE 802.11w)
  45. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  46. use correct FTIE
  47. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  48. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  49. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  50. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  51. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  52. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  53. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  54. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  55. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  56. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  57. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  58. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  59. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  60. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  61. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  62. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  63. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  64. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  65. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  66. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  67. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  68. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  69. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  70. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  71. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  72. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  73. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  74. present random binary data)
  75. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  76. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  77. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  78. when an interface is added
  79. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  80. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  81. indicating when new scan results become available
  82. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  83. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  84. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  85. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  86. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  87. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  88. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  89. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  90. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  91. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  92. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  93. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  94. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  95. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  96. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  97. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  98. versions
  99. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  100. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  101. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  102. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  103. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  104. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  105. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  106. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  107. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  108. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  109. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  110. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  111. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  112. [Bug 237]
  113. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  114. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  115. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  116. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  117. in .config
  118. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  119. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  120. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  121. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  122. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  123. work with new features
  124. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  125. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  126. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  127. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  128. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  129. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  130. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  131. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  132. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  133. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  134. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  135. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  136. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  137. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  138. PAC-Opaque)
  139. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  140. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  141. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  142. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  143. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  144. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  145. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  146. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  147. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  148. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  149. [Bug 232]
  150. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  151. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  152. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  153. buffer read overflow
  154. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  155. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  156. be lost
  157. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  158. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  159. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  160. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  161. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  162. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  163. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  164. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  165. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  166. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  167. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  168. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  169. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  170. different)
  171. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  172. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  173. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  174. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  175. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  176. for PAC provisioning)
  177. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  178. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  179. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  180. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  181. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  182. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  183. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  184. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  185. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  186. added support for EAP-FAST
  187. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  188. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  189. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  190. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  191. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  192. (still experimental)
  193. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  194. if TLS library initialization fails
  195. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  196. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  197. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  198. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  199. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  200. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  201. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  202. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  203. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  204. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  205. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  206. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  207. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  208. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  209. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  210. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  211. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  212. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  213. frame protection)
  214. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  215. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  216. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  217. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  218. immediately without sending a command
  219. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  220. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  221. use PIN)
  222. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  223. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  224. partial AID
  225. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  226. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  227. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  228. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  229. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  230. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  231. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  232. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  233. parameter is not exposed
  234. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  235. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  236. (wide-char functions)
  237. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  238. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  239. keys
  240. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  241. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  242. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  243. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  244. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  245. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  246. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  247. when determining whether there are pending messages
  248. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  249. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  250. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  251. localhost was used)
  252. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  253. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  254. future versions)
  255. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  256. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  257. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  258. case when group is not changed
  259. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  260. Windows version
  261. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  262. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  263. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  264. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  265. used even if the source address does not match with it
  266. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  267. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  268. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  269. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  270. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  271. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  272. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  273. implementation
  274. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  275. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  276. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  277. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  278. USB) [Bug 113]
  279. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  280. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  281. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  282. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  283. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  284. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  285. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  286. to be enabled)
  287. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  288. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  289. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  290. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  291. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  292. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  293. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  294. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  295. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  296. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  297. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  298. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  299. is terminated
  300. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  301. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  302. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  303. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  304. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  305. included)
  306. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  307. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  308. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  309. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  310. a raw PSK (hex string)
  311. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  312. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  313. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  314. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  315. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  316. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  317. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  318. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  319. status changes or when associating with a different network
  320. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  321. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  322. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  323. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  324. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  325. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  326. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  327. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  328. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  329. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  330. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  331. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  332. handle
  333. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  334. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  335. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  336. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  337. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  338. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  339. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  340. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  341. only one application to open the device
  342. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  343. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  344. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  345. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  346. when specifying the interface
  347. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  348. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  349. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  350. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  351. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  352. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  353. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  354. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  355. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  356. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  357. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  358. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  359. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  360. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  361. in Windows registry
  362. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  363. Windows registry
  364. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  365. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  366. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  367. that can use this information)
  368. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  369. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  370. [Bug 140]
  371. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  372. primitive
  373. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  374. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  375. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  376. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  377. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  378. on how to use this)
  379. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  380. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  381. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  382. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  383. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  384. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  385. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  386. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  387. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  388. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  389. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  390. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  391. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  392. instead of a static list generated at build time
  393. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  394. removing PMKSA entries
  395. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  396. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  397. WPA/RSN IE
  398. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  399. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  400. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  401. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  402. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  403. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  404. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  405. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  406. option can be changed if needed
  407. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  408. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  409. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  410. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  411. recommended)
  412. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  413. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  414. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  415. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  416. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  417. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  418. not likely to happen in real use.
  419. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  420. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  421. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  422. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  423. ap_scan=2)
  424. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  425. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  426. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  427. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  428. and stakey=1)
  429. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  430. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  431. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  432. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  433. other C libraries and compilers
  434. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  435. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  436. code more portable
  437. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  438. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  439. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  440. example makefile for nmake
  441. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  442. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  443. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  444. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  445. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  446. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  447. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  448. unregister a service
  449. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  450. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  451. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  452. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  453. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  454. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  455. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  456. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  457. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  458. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  459. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  460. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  461. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  462. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  463. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  464. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  465. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  466. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  467. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  468. 3 ms
  469. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  470. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  471. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  472. configuration blob
  473. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  474. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  475. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  476. session resumption
  477. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  478. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  479. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  480. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  481. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  482. easily on cross-compilation builds
  483. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  484. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  485. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  486. Windows service
  487. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  488. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  489. release since it is not needed anymore
  490. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  491. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  492. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  493. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  494. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  495. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  496. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  497. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  498. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  499. during handshake
  500. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  501. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  502. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  503. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  504. would get
  505. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  506. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  507. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  508. cannot be parsed successfully
  509. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  510. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  511. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  512. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  513. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  514. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  515. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  516. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  517. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  518. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  519. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  520. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  521. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  522. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  523. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  524. private_key
  525. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  526. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  527. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  528. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  529. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  530. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  531. system-wide trusted CA list
  532. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  533. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  534. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  535. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  536. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  537. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  538. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  539. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  540. wpa_supplicant process
  541. * wpa_gui:
  542. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  543. - added WEP key configuration
  544. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  545. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  546. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  547. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  548. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  549. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  550. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  551. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  552. EAP authentication immediately after association
  553. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  554. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  555. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  556. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  557. generate, e.g., man pages
  558. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  559. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  560. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  561. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  562. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  563. frame
  564. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  565. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  566. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  567. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  568. Ethernet
  569. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  570. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  571. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  572. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  573. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  574. these multicast addresses by default
  575. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  576. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  577. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  578. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  579. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  580. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  581. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  582. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  583. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  584. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  585. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  586. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  587. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  588. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  589. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  590. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  591. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  592. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  593. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  594. this with private_key)
  595. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  596. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  597. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  598. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  599. with drivers that do not support WPA
  600. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  601. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  602. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  603. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  604. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  605. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  606. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  607. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  608. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  609. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  610. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  611. the control interface, for example:
  612. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  613. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  614. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  615. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  616. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  617. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  618. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  619. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  620. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  621. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  622. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  623. open network configuration)
  624. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  625. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  626. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  627. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  628. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  629. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  630. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  631. (l2_packet_*.c)
  632. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  633. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  634. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  635. this)
  636. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  637. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  638. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  639. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  640. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  641. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  642. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  643. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  644. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  645. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  646. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  647. NDIS drivers
  648. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  649. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  650. configuration file
  651. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  652. processing
  653. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  654. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  655. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  656. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  657. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  658. the key in this case
  659. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  660. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  661. driver_ops function set_param()
  662. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  663. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  664. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  665. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  666. entered as a number, not group name
  667. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  668. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  669. cards
  670. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  671. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  672. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  673. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  674. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  675. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  676. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  677. authentication session
  678. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  679. password has expired)
  680. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  681. and adding them to the certificate chain
  682. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  683. were used
  684. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  685. identity or password is entered through control interface
  686. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  687. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  688. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  689. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  690. Qt development tools)
  691. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  692. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  693. 'reassociate' command has been used
  694. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  695. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  696. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  697. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  698. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  699. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  700. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  701. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  702. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  703. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  704. debugging code is not needed
  705. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  706. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  707. overflow
  708. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  709. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  710. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  711. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  712. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  713. but they may be removed in the future)
  714. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  715. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  716. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  717. interoperate with some authentication servers
  718. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  719. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  720. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  721. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  722. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  723. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  724. delayed until the PIN is available
  725. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  726. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  727. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  728. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  729. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  730. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  731. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  732. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  733. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  734. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  735. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  736. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  737. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  738. events
  739. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  740. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  741. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  742. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  743. using assoc_info events
  744. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  745. process id into a file
  746. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  747. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  748. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  749. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  750. authentication servers
  751. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  752. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  753. ap_scan=2)
  754. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  755. identity/password/otp
  756. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  757. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  758. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  759. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  760. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  761. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  762. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  763. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  764. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  765. when no matching AP is found
  766. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  767. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  768. when using WPA2-PSK
  769. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  770. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  771. retransmission of dropped frames)
  772. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  773. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  774. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  775. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  776. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  777. requires EAP workarounds
  778. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  779. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  780. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  781. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  782. authentication attempt
  783. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  784. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  785. verified)
  786. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  787. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  788. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  789. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  790. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  791. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  792. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  793. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  794. supports WPA-None)
  795. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  796. mingw
  797. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  798. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  799. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  800. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  801. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  802. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  803. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  804. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  805. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  806. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  807. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  808. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  809. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  810. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  811. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  812. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  813. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  814. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  815. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  816. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  817. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  818. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  819. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  820. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  821. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  822. running)
  823. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  824. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  825. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  826. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  827. the interface name
  828. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  829. file
  830. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  831. when exiting
  832. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  833. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  834. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  835. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  836. information
  837. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  838. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  839. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  840. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  841. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  842. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  843. authentication
  844. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  845. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  846. unicast key)
  847. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  848. drivers
  849. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  850. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  851. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  852. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  853. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  854. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  855. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  856. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  857. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  858. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  859. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  860. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  861. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  862. group, proto variables
  863. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  864. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  865. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  866. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  867. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  868. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  869. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  870. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  871. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  872. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  873. the association
  874. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  875. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  876. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  877. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  878. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  879. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  880. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  881. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  882. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  883. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  884. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  885. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  886. reply
  887. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  888. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  889. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  890. label which is thus more suitable default option
  891. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  892. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  893. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  894. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  895. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  896. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  897. WEP keys)
  898. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  899. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  900. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  901. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  902. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  903. session resumption)
  904. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  905. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  906. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  907. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  908. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  909. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  910. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  911. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  912. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  913. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  914. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  915. drivers expect this
  916. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  917. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  918. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  919. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  920. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  921. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  922. v17 or newer
  923. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  924. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  925. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  926. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  927. forever
  928. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  929. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  930. argument to match the previous behavior
  931. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  932. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  933. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  934. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  935. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  936. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  937. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  938. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  939. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  940. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  941. association
  942. * changed driver interface API:
  943. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  944. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  945. not defined)
  946. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  947. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  948. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  949. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  950. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  951. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  952. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  953. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  954. sequential EAP packets
  955. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  956. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  957. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  958. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  959. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  960. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  961. configuration
  962. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  963. IEs than just one WPA IE
  964. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  965. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  966. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  967. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  968. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  969. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  970. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  971. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  972. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  973. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  974. for the broadcast key
  975. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  976. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  977. WPA
  978. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  979. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  980. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  981. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  982. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  983. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  984. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  985. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  986. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  987. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  988. supporting wireless extensions.
  989. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  990. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  991. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  992. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  993. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  994. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  995. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  996. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  997. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  998. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  999. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1000. started again
  1001. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1002. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1003. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1004. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1005. frontend is attached
  1006. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1007. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1008. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1009. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1010. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1011. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1012. the control interface;
  1013. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1014. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1015. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1016. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1017. * added support for LEAP
  1018. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1019. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1020. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1021. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1022. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1023. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1024. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1025. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1026. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1027. TLS processing
  1028. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1029. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1030. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1031. automatically)
  1032. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1033. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1034. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1035. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1036. from the station)
  1037. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1038. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1039. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1040. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1041. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1042. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1043. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1044. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1045. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1046. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1047. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1048. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1049. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1050. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1051. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1052. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1053. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1054. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1055. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1056. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1057. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1058. EAP-GTC
  1059. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1060. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1061. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1062. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1063. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1064. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1065. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1066. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1067. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1068. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1069. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1070. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1071. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1072. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1073. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1074. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1075. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1076. anyway for TLS)
  1077. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1078. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1079. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1080. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1081. Supplicant
  1082. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1083. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1084. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1085. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1086. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1087. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1088. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1089. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1090. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1091. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1092. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1093. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1094. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1095. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1096. option
  1097. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1098. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1099. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1100. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1101. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1102. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1103. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1104. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1105. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1106. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1107. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1108. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1109. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1110. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1111. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1112. wpa_supplicant
  1113. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1114. mode
  1115. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1116. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1117. - .config file for make
  1118. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1119. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1120. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1121. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
