83 * changed EAPOL transmission to use AC_VO if WMM is active
84 * fixed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS/FAST server to validate TLS Message Length
85 correctly; invalid messages could have caused the hostapd process to
86 terminate before this fix [CVE-2012-4445]
87 * limit number of active wildcard PINs for WPS Registrar to one to avoid
88 confusing behavior with multiple wildcard PINs
89 * added a workaround for WPS PBC session overlap detection to avoid

932012-05-10 - v1.0
94 * Add channel selection support in hostapd. See hostapd.conf.
95 * Add support for IEEE 802.11v Time Advertisement mechanism with UTC
96 TSF offset. See hostapd.conf for config info.
97 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
98 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
99 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
100 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
101 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
102 * Allow PMKSA caching to be disabled on the Authenticator. See
103 hostap.conf config parameter disable_pmksa_caching.
104 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
105 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
106 * Allow client isolation to be configured with ap_isolate. Client
107 isolation can be used to prevent low-level bridging of frames
108 between associated stations in the BSS. By default, this bridging
109 is allowed.
110 * Allow coexistance of HT BSSes with WEP/TKIP BSSes.
111 * Add require_ht config parameter, which can be used to configure
112 hostapd to reject association with any station that does not support
113 HT PHY.
114 * Add support for writing debug log to a file using "-f" option. Also
115 add relog CLI command to re-open the log file.
116 * Add bridge handling for WDS STA interfaces. By default they are
117 added to the configured bridge of the AP interface (if present),
118 but the user can also specify a separate bridge using cli command
119 wds_bridge.
120 * hostapd_cli:
121 - Add wds_bridge command for specifying bridge for WDS STA
122 interfaces.
123 - Add relog command for reopening log file.
124 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
125 due to inactivity.
126 - Add wps_config ctrl_interface command for configuring AP. This
127 command can be used to configure the AP using the internal WPS
128 registrar. It works in the same way as new AP settings received
129 from an ER.
130 - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
131 - Add command get version, that returns hostapd version string.
132 * WNM: Add BSS Transition Management Request for ESS Disassoc Imminent.
133 Use hostapd_cli ess_disassoc (STA addr) (URL) to send the
134 notification to the STA.
135 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
136 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
137 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
138 config option disassoc_low_ack.
139 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
140 config file.
141 * WPS:
142 - Send AP Settings as a wrapped Credential attribute to ctrl_iface
143 in WPS-NEW-AP-SETTINGS.
144 - Dispatch more WPS events through hostapd ctrl_iface.
145 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
146 - Change concurrent radio AP to use only one WPS UPnP instance.
147 - Add wps_check_pin command for processing PIN from user input.
148 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
149 validate the checksum digit (if present).
150 - Add hostap_cli get_config command to display current AP config.
151 - Add new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, to manage AP PIN at
152 runtime and support dynamic AP PIN management.
153 - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks
154 on failures up to 10.
155 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing,
156 to be compatible with Windows 7.
157 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info
158 to the user on how to resolve the issue.
159 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
160 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
161 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
162 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
163 all interfaces
164 * WPS ER:
165 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events.
166 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
167 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
168 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
169 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
170 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
171 for testing protocol extensibility.
172 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
173 workarounds.
174 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
175 * TDLS:
176 - Allow TDLS use or TDLS channel switching in the BSS to be
177 prohibited in the BSS, using config params tdls_prohibit and
178 tdls_prohibit_chan_switch.
179 * EAP server: Add support for configuring fragment size (see
180 fragment_size in hostapd.conf).
181 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
182 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
183 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
184 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
185 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See hostapd.conf for config parameters for
186 interworking.
187 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android hostapd.
188 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
189 -ddd to enable.
190 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
191 * Internal TLS:
192 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
193 CONFIG_TLSV11.
194 - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names
195 * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
196 WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
197 Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
198 * Many bugfixes.

JM
2272010-01-16 - v0.7.1
228 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
229 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers

c0a61908
JM
269 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
270 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
271 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
56360b16
JM
272 * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
273 functionality from the program binary based on build configuration

JM
289 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
290 (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
291 and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
6f78f2fb
JM
292 methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
293 external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
ad08c363
JM
294 be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
295 runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
296 the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
30f5c941 297 wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
ad08c363 298 more details
fc14f567 299 * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
df73d284

581a8cde
JM
311 * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
312 enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
313 TKIP deficiencies
0cf03892
JM
314 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
315 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
316 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
317 needed with that version anymore)
10b83bd7
JM
318 * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
319 the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
320 using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
321 information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
322 channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
323 regulatory domain)
012783f1
JM
324 * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
325 large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
326 Ticket data is included)

331 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
1f21bc4c
JM
332 * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
333 identity lengths)
4d4233ea
JM
334 * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
335 by EAP-FAST server)
271d2830
JM
336 * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
337 (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
338 configuration
5d22a1d5
JM
339 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
340 (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
341 authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
56586197
JM
342 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
343 (IEEE 802.11w)
d64dabee
JM
344 * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
345 (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
2100a768
JM
346 * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
347 is enabled in configuration
2d867244
JM
348 * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
349 A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
350 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
351 implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
07d44bee
JM
352 * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
353 configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
354 starting from 2.6.29)
1d8ce433 355
d48ae45b 3562008-08-10 - v0.6.4
829f14be
JM
357 * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
358 Identity Request if identity is already known
7914585f 359 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
502a293e
JM
360 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
361 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
362 changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
363 and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
e7d80033 364 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
1b52ea47 365 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
34f564db

6fc6879b
JM
3702008-02-22 - v0.6.3
371 * fixed Reassociation Response callback processing when using internal
372 MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
373 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
374 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
375 as a RADIUS authentication server
376 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
377 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
378 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
379 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
380 be used
381 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
382 termination in the username
383 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
384 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
385 reauthentication
386 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
387 case
388 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
389 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
390
3912008-01-01 - v0.6.2
392 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
393 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
394 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
395 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
396 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
397 versions
398 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
399 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
400 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
401 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
402 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
403 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
404 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
405 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
406 TTLS-MSCHAPV2
407 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
408 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
409 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
410 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
411 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
412
4132007-11-24 - v0.6.1
414 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
415 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
416 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
417 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
418 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
419 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
420 server
421 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
422 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
423 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
424 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
425 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
426 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
427 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
428 not have support for this)
429 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
430
4312007-05-28 - v0.6.0
432 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
433 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
434 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
435 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
436 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
437 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
438 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
439 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
440 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
441 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
442 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
443 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
444 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
445 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
446 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
447 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
448 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
449 in Success Request [Bug 203]
450 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
451 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
452 (still experimental)
453 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
454 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
455 reply
456
4572006-11-24 - v0.5.6
458 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
459 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
460 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
461 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
462 pre-authentication
463 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
464 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
465 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
466 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
467 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
468 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
469 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
470 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
471 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
472 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
473 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
474 frame protection)
475 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
476 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
477 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
478 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
479 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
480 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
481 EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
482 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
483 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
484
4852006-08-27 - v0.5.5
486 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
487 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
488 external signal)
489 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
490 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
491 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
492 id into a file
493 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
494
4952006-06-20 - v0.5.4
496 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
497 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
498 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
499 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
500 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
501 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
502 successfully [Bug 152]
503
5042006-04-27 - v0.5.3
505 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
506 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
507 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
508 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
509 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
510 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
511 [Bug 89]
512 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
513 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
514 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
515
5162006-03-19 - v0.5.2
517 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
518 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
519 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
520 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
521 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
522 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
523 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
524 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
525 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
526 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
527 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
528 and EAP-AKA
529 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
530 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
531 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
532 to enable this)
533 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
534 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
535 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
536 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
537 instead of a static list generated at build time
538 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
539 [Bug 125]
540 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
541
5422006-01-29 - v0.5.1
543 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
544 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
545 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
546 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
547
5482005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
549 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
550 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
551 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
552 and stakey=1)
553 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
554 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
555 is ready to continue
556 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
557 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
558 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
559 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
560 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
561 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
562 for EAP-Nak negotiation
563 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
564 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
565 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
566 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
567
5682005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
569 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
570 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
571 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
572 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
573 device at the time (common switch configuration)
574 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
575 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
576 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
577 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
578
5792005-10-27 - v0.4.6
580 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
581 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
582 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
583 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
584 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
585 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
586 ath# is part of a bridge interface
587 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
588 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
589 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
590 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
591 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
592
5932005-09-25 - v0.4.5
594 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
595 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
596 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
597 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
598
5992005-08-21 - v0.4.4
600 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
601 * fixed FreeBSD build
602
6032005-06-26 - v0.4.3
604 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
605 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
606 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
607 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
608 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
609 first disassociating
610
6112005-06-12 - v0.4.2
612 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
613 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
614 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
615 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
616 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
617 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
618 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
619 cards
620
6212005-05-22 - v0.4.1
622 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
623 is configured and the other one is left empty
624 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
625 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
626 branch of madwifi CVS tree
627 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
628 without disassociation
629 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
630 and adding them to the certificate chain
631 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
632 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
633 packets could have cleared Class attribute
634 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
635 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
636 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
637 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
638
6392005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
640 * added support for including network information into
641 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
642 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
643 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
644 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
645 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
646 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
647 when receiving a TLS alert
648 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
649 authenticator
650 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
651 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
652 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
653 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
654 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
655 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
656 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
657 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
658 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
659 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
660
6612005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
662
6632005-01-23 - v0.3.5
664 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
665 Phase 1 identity
666 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
667 to terminate authentication
668 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
669 draft
670 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
671 session
672 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
673 than one network interface to be used
674 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
675 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
676 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
677 invalid message 2/4 was received
678 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
679 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
680 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
681 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
682 its first retry, too
683
6842005-01-09 - v0.3.4
685 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
686 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
687 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
688 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
689
6902005-01-02 - v0.3.3
691 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
692 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
693 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
694 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
695 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
696 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
697 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
698 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
699 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
700 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
701 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
702 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
703
7042004-12-19 - v0.3.2
705 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
706 been used at all for more than year
707 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
708 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
709
7102004-12-12 - v0.3.1
711 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
712 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
713 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
714 external RADIUS server
715 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
716 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
717
7182004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
719 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
720 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
721 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
722 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
723 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
724 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
725 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
726 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
727 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
728 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
729 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
730 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
731 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
732 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
733 used with other drivers
734 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
735 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
736 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
737 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
738 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
739 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
740 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
741 build)
742 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
743 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
744 align variables)
745 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
746 accounting packets
747 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
748 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
749 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
750 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
751 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
752 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
753 hostapd.conf)
754 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
755 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
756 IEEE 802.11F-2003)
757 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
758 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
759 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
760 build)
761 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
762 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
763 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
764 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
765 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
766 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
767 deauthenticating
768 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
769 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
770 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
771 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
772 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
773 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
774 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
775 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
776 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
777 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
778 yet been committed
779
7802004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
781 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
782 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
783
7842004-06-20 - v0.2.3
785 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
786 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
787 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
788 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
789 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
790 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
791 was used)
792
7932004-05-31 - v0.2.2
794 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
795 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
796 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
797 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
798 authentication messages into accounting messages
799 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
800 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
801 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
802 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
803
8042004-05-06 - v0.2.1
805 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
806 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
807 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
808 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
809 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
810 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
811 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
812 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
813 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
814 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
815 to the STA before sending a new one
816
8172004-02-15 - v0.2.0
818 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
819 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
820 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
821 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
822 - allow different update intervals for each STA
823 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
824 the real signal handler
825 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
826 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
827 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
828 before the timer is triggered).
829 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
830 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
831 and accounting messages
832 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
833 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
834 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
835 initialized properly
836 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
837 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
838 802.1X data) was removed
839
840
841Note:
842
843Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
844of the Host AP driver.
