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