  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  3. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  4. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  5. will need modifications
  6. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  7. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  8. single document
  9. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  10. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  11. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  12. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  13. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  14. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  15. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  16. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  17. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  18. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  19. wrapper
  20. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  21. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  22. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  23. the dialog is kept open
  24. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  25. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  26. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  27. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  28. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  29. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  30. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  31. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  32. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  33. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  34. interface will be used
  35. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  36. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  37. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  38. with nl80211
  39. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  40. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  41. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  42. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  43. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  44. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  45. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  46. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  47. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  48. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  49. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  50. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  51. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  52. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  53. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  54. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  55. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  56. into wpa_supplicant
  57. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  58. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  59. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  60. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  61. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  62. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  63. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  64. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  65. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  66. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  67. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  68. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  69. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  70. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  71. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  72. address frames
  73. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  74. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  75. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  76. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  77. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  78. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  79. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  80. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  81. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  82. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  83. an ESS (same SSID)
  84. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  85. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  86. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  87. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  88. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  89. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  90. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  91. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  92. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  93. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  94. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  95. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  96. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  97. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  98. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  99. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  100. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  101. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  102. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  103. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  104. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  105. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  106. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  107. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  108. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  109. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  110. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  111. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  112. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  113. against TKIP deficiencies
  114. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  115. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  116. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  117. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  118. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  119. not bytes
  120. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  121. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  122. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  123. needed with that version anymore)
  124. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  125. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  126. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  127. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  128. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  129. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  130. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  131. about
  132. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  133. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  134. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  135. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  136. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  137. (IEEE 802.11w)
  138. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  139. use correct FTIE
  140. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  141. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  142. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  143. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  144. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  145. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  146. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  147. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  148. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  149. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  150. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  151. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  152. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  153. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  154. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  155. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  156. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  157. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  158. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  159. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  160. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  161. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  162. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  163. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  164. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  165. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  166. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  167. present random binary data)
  168. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  169. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  170. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  171. when an interface is added
  172. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  173. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  174. indicating when new scan results become available
  175. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  176. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  177. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  178. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  179. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  180. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  181. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  182. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  183. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  184. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  185. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  186. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  187. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  188. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  189. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  190. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  191. versions
  192. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  193. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  194. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  195. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  196. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  197. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  198. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  199. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  200. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  201. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  202. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  203. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  204. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  205. [Bug 237]
  206. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  207. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  208. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  209. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  210. in .config
  211. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  212. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  213. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  214. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  215. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  216. work with new features
  217. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  218. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  219. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  220. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  221. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  222. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  223. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  224. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  225. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  226. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  227. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  228. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  229. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  230. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  231. PAC-Opaque)
  232. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  233. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  234. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  235. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  236. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  237. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  238. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  239. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  240. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  241. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  242. [Bug 232]
  243. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  244. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  245. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  246. buffer read overflow
  247. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  248. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  249. be lost
  250. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  251. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  252. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  253. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  254. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  255. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  256. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  257. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  258. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  259. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  260. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  261. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  262. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  263. different)
  264. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  265. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  266. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  267. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  268. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  269. for PAC provisioning)
  270. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  271. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  272. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  273. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  274. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  275. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  276. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  277. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  278. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  279. added support for EAP-FAST
  280. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  281. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  282. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  283. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  284. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  285. (still experimental)
  286. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  287. if TLS library initialization fails
  288. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  289. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  290. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  291. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  292. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  293. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  294. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  295. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  296. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  297. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  298. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  299. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  300. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  301. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  302. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  303. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  304. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  305. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  306. frame protection)
  307. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  308. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  309. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  310. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  311. immediately without sending a command
  312. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  313. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  314. use PIN)
  315. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  316. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  317. partial AID
  318. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  319. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  320. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  321. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  322. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  323. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  324. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  325. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  326. parameter is not exposed
  327. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  328. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  329. (wide-char functions)
  330. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  331. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  332. keys
  333. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  334. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  335. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  336. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  337. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  338. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  339. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  340. when determining whether there are pending messages
  341. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  342. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  343. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  344. localhost was used)
  345. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  346. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  347. future versions)
  348. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  349. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  350. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  351. case when group is not changed
  352. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  353. Windows version
  354. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  355. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  356. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  357. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  358. used even if the source address does not match with it
  359. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  360. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  361. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  362. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  363. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  364. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  365. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  366. implementation
  367. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  368. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  369. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  370. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  371. USB) [Bug 113]
  372. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  373. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  374. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  375. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  376. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  377. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  378. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  379. to be enabled)
  380. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  381. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  382. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  383. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  384. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  385. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  386. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  387. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  388. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  389. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  390. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  391. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  392. is terminated
  393. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  394. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  395. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  396. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  397. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  398. included)
  399. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  400. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  401. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  402. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  403. a raw PSK (hex string)
  404. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  405. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  406. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  407. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  408. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  409. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  410. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  411. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  412. status changes or when associating with a different network
  413. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  414. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  415. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  416. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  417. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  418. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  419. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  420. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  421. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  422. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  423. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  424. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  425. handle
  426. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  427. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  428. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  429. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  430. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  431. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  432. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  433. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  434. only one application to open the device
  435. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  436. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  437. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  438. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  439. when specifying the interface
  440. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  441. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  442. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  443. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  444. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  445. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  446. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  447. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  448. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  449. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  450. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  451. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  452. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  453. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  454. in Windows registry
  455. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  456. Windows registry
  457. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  458. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  459. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  460. that can use this information)
  461. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  462. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  463. [Bug 140]
  464. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  465. primitive
  466. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  467. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  468. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  469. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  470. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  471. on how to use this)
  472. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  473. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  474. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  475. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  476. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  477. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  478. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  479. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  480. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  481. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  482. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  483. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  484. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  485. instead of a static list generated at build time
  486. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  487. removing PMKSA entries
  488. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  489. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  490. WPA/RSN IE
  491. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  492. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  493. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  494. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  495. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  496. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  497. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  498. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  499. option can be changed if needed
  500. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  501. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  502. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  503. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  504. recommended)
  505. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  506. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  507. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  508. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  509. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  510. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  511. not likely to happen in real use.
  512. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  513. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  514. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  515. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  516. ap_scan=2)
  517. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  518. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  519. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  520. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  521. and stakey=1)
  522. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  523. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  524. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  525. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  526. other C libraries and compilers
  527. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  528. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  529. code more portable
  530. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  531. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  532. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  533. example makefile for nmake
  534. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  535. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  536. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  537. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  538. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  539. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  540. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  541. unregister a service
  542. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  543. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  544. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  545. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  546. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  547. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  548. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  549. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  550. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  551. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  552. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  553. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  554. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  555. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  556. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  557. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  558. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  559. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  560. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  561. 3 ms
  562. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  563. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  564. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  565. configuration blob
  566. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  567. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  568. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  569. session resumption
  570. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  571. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  572. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  573. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  574. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  575. easily on cross-compilation builds
  576. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  577. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  578. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  579. Windows service
  580. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  581. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  582. release since it is not needed anymore
  583. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  584. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  585. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  586. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  587. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  588. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  589. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  590. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  591. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  592. during handshake
  593. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  594. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  595. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  596. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  597. would get
  598. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  599. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  600. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  601. cannot be parsed successfully
  602. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  603. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  604. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  605. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  606. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  607. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  608. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  609. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  610. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  611. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  612. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  613. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  614. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  615. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  616. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  617. private_key
  618. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  619. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  620. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  621. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  622. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  623. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  624. system-wide trusted CA list
  625. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  626. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  627. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  628. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  629. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  630. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  631. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  632. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  633. wpa_supplicant process
  634. * wpa_gui:
  635. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  636. - added WEP key configuration
  637. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  638. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  639. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  640. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  641. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  642. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  643. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  644. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  645. EAP authentication immediately after association
  646. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  647. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  648. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  649. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  650. generate, e.g., man pages
  651. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  652. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  653. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  654. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  655. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  656. frame
  657. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  658. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  659. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  660. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  661. Ethernet
  662. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  663. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  664. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  665. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  666. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  667. these multicast addresses by default
  668. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  669. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  670. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  671. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  672. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  673. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  674. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  675. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  676. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  677. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  678. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  679. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  680. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  681. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  682. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  683. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  684. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  685. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  686. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  687. this with private_key)
  688. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  689. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  690. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  691. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  692. with drivers that do not support WPA
  693. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  694. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  695. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  696. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  697. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  698. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  699. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  700. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  701. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  702. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  703. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  704. the control interface, for example:
  705. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  706. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  707. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  708. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  709. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  710. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  711. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  712. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  713. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  714. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  715. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  716. open network configuration)
  717. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  718. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  719. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  720. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  721. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  722. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  723. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  724. (l2_packet_*.c)
  725. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  726. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  727. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  728. this)
  729. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  730. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  731. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  732. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  733. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  734. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  735. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  736. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  737. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  738. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  739. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  740. NDIS drivers
  741. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  742. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  743. configuration file
  744. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  745. processing
  746. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  747. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  748. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  749. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  750. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  751. the key in this case
  752. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  753. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  754. driver_ops function set_param()
  755. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  756. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  757. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  758. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  759. entered as a number, not group name
  760. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  761. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  762. cards
  763. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  764. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  765. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  766. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  767. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  768. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  769. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  770. authentication session
  771. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  772. password has expired)
  773. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  774. and adding them to the certificate chain
  775. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  776. were used
  777. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  778. identity or password is entered through control interface
  779. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  780. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  781. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  782. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  783. Qt development tools)
  784. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  785. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  786. 'reassociate' command has been used
  787. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  788. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  789. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  790. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  791. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  792. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  793. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  794. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  795. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  796. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  797. debugging code is not needed
  798. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  799. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  800. overflow
  801. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  802. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  803. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  804. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  805. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  806. but they may be removed in the future)
  807. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  808. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  809. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  810. interoperate with some authentication servers
  811. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  812. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  813. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  814. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  815. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  816. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  817. delayed until the PIN is available
  818. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  819. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  820. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  821. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  822. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  823. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  824. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  825. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  826. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  827. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  828. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  829. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  830. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  831. events
  832. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  833. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  834. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  835. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  836. using assoc_info events
  837. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  838. process id into a file
  839. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  840. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  841. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  842. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  843. authentication servers
  844. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  845. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  846. ap_scan=2)
  847. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  848. identity/password/otp
  849. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  850. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  851. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  852. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  853. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  854. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  855. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  856. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  857. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  858. when no matching AP is found
  859. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  860. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  861. when using WPA2-PSK
  862. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  863. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  864. retransmission of dropped frames)
  865. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  866. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  867. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  868. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  869. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  870. requires EAP workarounds
  871. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  872. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  873. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  874. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  875. authentication attempt
  876. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  877. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  878. verified)
  879. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  880. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  881. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  882. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  883. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  884. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  885. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  886. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  887. supports WPA-None)
  888. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  889. mingw
  890. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  891. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  892. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  893. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  894. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  895. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  896. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  897. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  898. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  899. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  900. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  901. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  902. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  903. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  904. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  905. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  906. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  907. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  908. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  909. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  910. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  911. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  912. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  913. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  914. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  915. running)
  916. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  917. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  918. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  919. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  920. the interface name
  921. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  922. file
  923. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  924. when exiting
  925. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  926. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  927. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  928. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  929. information
  930. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  931. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  932. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  933. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  934. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  935. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  936. authentication
  937. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  938. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  939. unicast key)
  940. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  941. drivers
  942. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  943. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  944. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  945. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  946. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  947. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  948. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  949. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  950. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  951. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  952. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  953. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  954. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  955. group, proto variables
  956. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  957. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  958. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  959. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  960. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  961. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  962. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  963. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  964. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  965. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  966. the association
  967. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  968. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  969. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  970. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  971. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  972. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  973. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  974. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  975. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  976. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  977. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  978. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  979. reply
  980. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  981. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  982. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  983. label which is thus more suitable default option
  984. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  985. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  986. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  987. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  988. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  989. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  990. WEP keys)
  991. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  992. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  993. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  994. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  995. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  996. session resumption)
  997. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  998. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  999. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1000. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1001. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  1002. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  1003. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  1004. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  1005. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  1006. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  1007. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  1008. drivers expect this
  1009. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  1010. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  1011. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  1012. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  1013. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  1014. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  1015. v17 or newer
  1016. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  1017. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  1018. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  1019. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  1020. forever
  1021. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  1022. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  1023. argument to match the previous behavior
  1024. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1025. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1026. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1027. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1028. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1029. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1030. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1031. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1032. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1033. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1034. association
  1035. * changed driver interface API:
  1036. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1037. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1038. not defined)
  1039. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1040. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1041. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1042. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1043. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1044. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1045. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1046. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1047. sequential EAP packets
  1048. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1049. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1050. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1051. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1052. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1053. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1054. configuration
  1055. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1056. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1057. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1058. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1059. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1060. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1061. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1062. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1063. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1064. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1065. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1066. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1067. for the broadcast key
  1068. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1069. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1070. WPA
  1071. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1072. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1073. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1074. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1075. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1076. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1077. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1078. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1079. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1080. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1081. supporting wireless extensions.
  1082. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1083. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1084. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1085. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1086. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1087. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1088. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1089. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1090. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1091. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1092. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1093. started again
  1094. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1095. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1096. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1097. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1098. frontend is attached
  1099. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1100. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1101. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1102. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1103. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1104. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1105. the control interface;
  1106. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1107. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1108. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1109. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1110. * added support for LEAP
  1111. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1112. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1113. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1114. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1115. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1116. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1117. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1118. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1119. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1120. TLS processing
  1121. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1122. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1123. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1124. automatically)
  1125. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1126. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1127. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1128. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1129. from the station)
  1130. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1131. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1132. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1133. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1134. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1135. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1136. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1137. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1138. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1139. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1140. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1141. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1142. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1143. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1144. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1145. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1146. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1147. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1148. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1149. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1150. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1151. EAP-GTC
  1152. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1153. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1154. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1155. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1156. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1157. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1158. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1159. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1160. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1161. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1162. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1163. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1164. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1165. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1166. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1167. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1168. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1169. anyway for TLS)
  1170. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1171. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1172. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1173. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1174. Supplicant
  1175. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1176. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1177. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1178. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1179. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1180. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1181. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1182. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1183. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1184. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1185. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1186. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1187. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1188. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1189. option
  1190. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1191. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1192. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1193. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1194. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1195. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1196. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1197. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1198. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1199. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1200. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1201. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1202. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1203. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1204. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1205. wpa_supplicant
  1206. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1207. mode
  1208. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1209. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1210. - .config file for make
  1211. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1212. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1213. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1214. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
