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