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