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