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

  1004. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1005. EAP-GTC
  1006. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1007. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1008. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1009. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1010. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1011. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1012. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1013. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1014. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1015. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1016. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1017. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1018. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1019. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1020. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1021. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1022. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1023. anyway for TLS)
  1024. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1025. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1026. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1027. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1028. Supplicant
  1029. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1030. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1031. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1032. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1033. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1034. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1035. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1036. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1037. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1038. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1039. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1040. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1041. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1042. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1043. option
  1044. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1045. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1046. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1047. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1048. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1049. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1050. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1051. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1052. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1053. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1054. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1055. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1056. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1057. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1058. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1059. wpa_supplicant
  1060. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1061. mode
  1062. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1063. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1064. - .config file for make
  1065. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1066. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1067. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1068. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
