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