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