The auto-connect state will now consist of the two phases:
STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_QUICK and STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_FULL.
The auto-connect will always start with STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_QUICK
and then transition into STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_FULL if no
connection has been established. During STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_QUICK
phase we take advantage of the wireless scans with the limited number
of channels on which the known networks have been observed before.
This approach allows to shorten the time required for the network
sweeps, therefore decreases the connection latency if the connection
is possible. Thereafter, if no connection has been established after
the first phase we transition into STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT_FULL and
do the periodic scan just like we did before the split in
STATION_STATE_AUTOCONNECT state.
For simplicity 160Mhz and 80+80Mhz were grouped together when
parsing the VHT capabilities, but the 80+80 bits were left in
vht_widht_map. This could cause an overflow when getting the
width map.
The AdHoc methods used to miss the change in properties
on AdHoc interface. To address the race condition, we
subscribe 'PropertiesChanged' signal first and then do
GetAll properties call. This way we are not missing
'PropertiesChanged' signal in between these calls.
wiphy_select_akm will now check if BIP is supported, and if MFPR is
set in the scan_bss before returning either SAE AKMs. This will allow
fallback to another PSK AKM (e.g. hybrid APs) if any of the requirements
are not met.
Replace existing uses of memset to clear secrets with explicit_bzero to
make sure it doesn't get optimized away. This has some side effects as
documented in gcc docs but is still recommended.
In eap_secret_info_free make sure we clear both strings in the case of
EAP_SECRET_REMOTE_USER_PASSWORD secrets.
Entering 23 characters at a prompt resulted in 9 extra characters being
added to the line. At this point, you would only be abel to backspace
until the 9th character.
It seems that claling both rl_replace_line("", 0) and rl_redisplay()
before rl_replace_line(masked_input.mask, 0) causes this to happen. Both
calls are redundant anyways as iwctl functions exactly the same without
them (plus no more bug).
Environments with several AP's, all at low signal strength may
want to lower the roaming RSSI threshold to prevent IWD from
roaming excessively. This adds an option 'roam_rssi_threshold',
which is still defaulted to -70.
Also printing keys with l_debug conditional on an environment variable
as someone wanting debug logs, or leaving debug on accidentally, does
not necessarily want the keys in the logs and in memory.
At some point the connect command builder was modified, and the
control port over NL80211 check was moved to inside if (is_rsn).
For WPS, no supplicant_ie was set, so CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211
was never set into CMD_CONNECT. This caused IWD to expect WPS
frames over netlink, but the kernel was sending them over the
legacy route.
This commit hardens the iwd.service.in template file for systemd
services. The following is a short explanation for each added directive:
+PrivateTmp=true
If true, sets up a new file system namespace for the executed processes
and mounts private /tmp and /var/tmp directories inside it that is not
shared by processes outside of the namespace.
+NoNewPrivileges=true
If true, ensures that the service process and all its children can never
gain new privileges through execve() (e.g. via setuid or setgid bits, or
filesystem capabilities).
+PrivateDevices=true
If true, sets up a new /dev mount for the executed processes and only
adds API pseudo devices such as /dev/null, /dev/zero or /dev/random (as
well as the pseudo TTY subsystem) to it, but no physical devices such as
/dev/sda, system memory /dev/mem, system ports /dev/port and others.
+ProtectHome=yes
If true, the directories /home, /root and /run/user are made
inaccessible and empty for processes invoked by this unit.
+ProtectSystem=strict
If set to "strict" the entire file system hierarchy is mounted
read-only, except for the API file system subtrees /dev, /proc and /sys
(protect these directories using PrivateDevices=,
ProtectKernelTunables=, ProtectControlGroups=).
+ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/iwd/
Sets up a new file system namespace for executed processes. These
options may be used to limit access a process might have to the file
system hierarchy. Each setting takes a space-separated list of paths
relative to the host's root directory (i.e. the system running the
service manager). Note that if paths contain symlinks, they are resolved
relative to the root directory set with RootDirectory=/RootImage=.
Paths listed in ReadWritePaths= are accessible from within
the namespace with the same access modes as from outside of
it.
+ProtectControlGroups=yes
If true, the Linux Control Groups (cgroups(7)) hierarchies accessible
through /sys/fs/cgroup will be made read-only to all processes of the
unit.
+ProtectKernelModules=yes
If true, explicit module loading will be denied. This allows module
load and unload operations to be turned off on modular kernels.
For further explanation to all directives see `man systemd.directives`
Hostapd has now been updated to include the group number when rejecting
the connection with UNSUPP_FINITE_CYCLIC_GROUP. We still need the existing
len == 0 check because old hostapd versions will still behave this way.
The single-use password is apparently sent in plaintext over the network
but at least try to prevent it from staying in the memory until we know
it's been used.
