For anyone debugging or trying to identify network infrastructure
problems the IWD DBus API isn't all that useful and ultimately
requires going through debug logs to figure out exactly what
happened. Having a concise set of debug logs containing only
relavent information would be very useful. In addition, having
some kind of syntax for these logs to be parsed by tooling could
automate these tasks.
This is being done, starting with station, by using iwd_notice
which internally uses l_notice. The use of the notice log level
(5) in IWD will be strictly for the type of messages described
above.
iwd_notice is being added so modules can communicate internal
state or event information via the NOTICE log level. This log
level will be reserved in IWD for only these type of messages.
The iwd_notice macro aims to help enforce some formatting
requirements for these type of log messages. The messages
should be one or more comma-separated "key: value" pairs starting
with "event: <name>" and followed by any additional info that
pertains to that event.
iwd_notice only enforces the initial event key/value format and
additional arguments are left to the caller to be formatted
correctly.
The --logger,-l flag can now be used to specify the logger type.
Unset (default) will set log output to stderr as it is today. The
other valid options are "syslog" and "journal".
basename use is considered harmful. There are two versions of
basename (see man 3 basename for details). The more intuitive version,
which is currently being used inside wiphy.c, is not supported by musl
libc implementation. Use of the libgen version is not preferred, so
drop use of basename entirely. Since wiphy.c is the only call site of
basename() inside iwd, open code the required logic.
ELL now has a setting to limit the number of DHCP attempts. This
will now be set in IWD and if reached will result in a failure
event, and in turn a disconnect.
IWD will set a maximum of 4 retries which should keep the maximum
DHCP time to ~60 seconds roughly.
The known frequency list is now a sorted list and the roam scan
results were not complying with this new requirement. The fix is
easy though since the iteration order of the scan results does
not matter (the roam candidates are inserted by rank). To fix
the known frequencies order we can simply reverse the scan results
list before iterating it.
When operating as an AP, drop message 4 of the 4-way handshake if the AP
has not yet received message 2. Otherwise an attacker can skip message 2
and immediately send message 4 to bypass authentication (the AP would be
using an all-zero ptk to verify the authenticity of message 4).
Modify the existing frequency test to check that the ordering
lines up with the ranking of the BSS.
Add a test to check that quick scans limit the number of known
frequencies.
In very large network deployments there could be a vast amount of APs
which could create a large known frequency list after some time once
all the APs are seen in scan results. This then increases the quick
scan time significantly, in the very worst case (but unlikely) just
as long as a full scan.
To help with this support in knownnetworks was added to limit the
number of frequencies per network. Station will now only get 5
recent frequencies per network making the maximum frequencies 25
in the worst case (~2.5s scan).
The magic values are now defines, and the recent roam frequencies
was also changed to use this define as well.
In order to support an ordered list of known frequencies the list
should be in order of last seen BSS frequencies with the highest
ranked ones first. To accomplish this without adding a lot of
complexity the frequencies can be pushed into the list as long as
they are pushed in reverse rank order (lowest rank first, highest
last). This ensures that very high ranked BSS's will always get
superseded by subsequent scans if not seen.
This adds a new network API to update the known frequency list
based on the current newtork->bss_list. This assumes that station
always wipes the BSS list on scans and populates with only fresh
BSS entries. After the scan this API can be called and it will
reverse the list, then add each frequency.
I've had connections to a WPA3-Personal only network fail with no log
message from iwd, and eventually figured out to was because the driver
would've required using CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH. With the added log messages
the reason becomes obvious.
Additionally the fallback may happen even if the user explicitly
configured WPA3 in NetworkManager, I believe a warning is appropriate
there.
There was an unhandled corner case if netconfig was running and
multiple roam conditions happened in sequence, all before netconfig
had completed. A single roam before netconfig was already handled
(23f0f5717c) but this did not take into account any additional roam
conditions.
If IWD is in this state, having started netconfig, then roamed, and
again restarted netconfig it is still in a roaming state which will
prevent any further roams. IWD will remain "stuck" on the current
BSS until netconfig completes or gets disconnected.
In addition the general state logic is wrong here. If IWD roams
prior to netconfig it should stay in a connecting state (from the
perspective of DBus).
To fix this a new internal station state was added (no changes to
the DBus API) to distinguish between a purely WiFi connecting state
(STATION_STATE_CONNECTING/AUTO) and netconfig
(STATION_STATE_NETCONFIG). This allows IWD roam as needed if
netconfig is still running. Also, some special handling was added so
the station state property remains in a "connected" state until
netconfig actually completes, regardless of roams.
For some background this scenario happens if the DHCP server goes
down for an extended period, e.g. if its being upgraded/serviced.
This fixes a build break on some systems, specifically the
raspberry Pi 3 (ARM):
monitor/main.c: In function ‘open_packet’:
monitor/main.c:176:3: error: implicit declaration of function ‘close’; did you mean ‘pclose’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
176 | close(fd);
| ^~~~~
| pclose
This was caused by the unused hostapd instance running after being
re-enabled by mistake. This cause an additional scan result with the
same rank to be seen which would then be connected to by luck of the
draw.
This really needs to be done to many more autotests but since this
one seems to have random failures ensure that all the tests still
run if one fails. In addition add better cleanup for hwsim rules.
This gives the tests a lot more fine-tune control to wait for
specific state transitions rather than only what is exposed over
DBus.
The additional events for "ft-roam" and "reassoc-roam" were removed
since these are now covered by the more generic state change events
("ft-roaming" and "roaming" respectively).
To support multiple nlmon sources, move the logic that reads from iwmon
device into main.c instead of nlmon. nlmon.c now becomes agnostic of
how the packets are actually obtained. Packets are fed in via
high-level APIs such as nlmon_print_rtnl, nlmon_print_genl,
nlmon_print_pae.
The current implementation inside nlmon_receive is asymmetrical. RTNL
packets are printed using nlmon_print_rtnl while GENL packets are
printed using nlmon_message.
nlmon_print_genl and nlmon_print_rtnl already handle iterating over data
containing multiple messages, and are used by nlmon started in reader
mode. Use these for better symmetry inside nlmon_receive.
While here, move store_netlink() call into nlmon_print_rtnl. This makes
handling of PCAP output symmetrical for both RTNL and GENL packets.
This also fixes a possibility where only the first message of a
multi-RTNL packet would be stored.
nlmon_print_genl invokes genl_ctrl when a generic netlink control
message is encountered. genl_ctrl() tries to filter nl80211 family
appearance messages and setup nlmon->id with the extracted family id.
However, the id is already provided inside main.c by using nlmon_open,
and no control messages are processed by nlmon in 'capture' mode (-r
command line argument not passed) since all genl messages go through
nlmon_message() path instead.
configure scripts need to be runnable with a POSIX-compliant /bin/sh.
On many (but not all!) systems, /bin/sh is provided by Bash, so errors
like this aren't spotted. Notably Debian defaults to /bin/sh provided
by dash which doesn't tolerate such bashisms as '+='.
This retains compatibility with bash. Just copy the expanded append like
we do on the line above.
Fixes warnings like:
```
./configure: 13352: CFLAGS+= -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2: not found
```
In order to test that extra settings are applied prior to connecting
two tests were added for hidden networks as well as one testing if
there is already an existing profile after DPP.
The reason hidden networks were used was due to the requirement of
the "Hidden" settings in the profile. If this setting doesn't get
sync'ed to disk the connection will fail.
Before this change DPP was writing the credentials both to disk
and into the network object directly. This allowed the connection
to work fine but additional settings were not picked up due to
network_set_passphrase/psk loading the settings before they were
written.
Instead DPP can avoid setting the credentials to the network
object entirely and just write them to disk. Then, wait for
known networks to notify that the profile was either created
or updated then DPP can proceed to connecting. network_autoconnect()
will take care of loading the profile that DPP wrote and remove the
need for DPP to touch the network object at all.
One thing to note is that an idle callback is still needed from
within the known networks callback. This is because a new profile
requires network.c to set the network_info which is done in the
known networks callback. Rather than assume that network.c will be
called into before dpp.c an l_idle was added.
If a known network is modified on disk known networks does not have
any way of notifying other modules. This will be needed to support a
corner case in DPP if a profile exists but is overwritten after DPP
configuration. Add this event to known networks and handle it in
network.c (though nothing needs to be done in that case).
Without the change test-dpp fails on aarch64-linux as:
$ unit/test-dpp
TEST: DPP test responder-only key derivation
TEST: DPP test mutual key derivation
TEST: DPP test PKEX key derivation
test-dpp: unit/test-dpp.c:514: test_pkex_key_derivation: Assertion `!memcmp(tmp, __tmp, 32)' failed.
This happens due to int/size_t type mismatch passed to vararg
parameters to prf_plus():
bool prf_plus(enum l_checksum_type type, const void *key, size_t key_len,
void *out, size_t out_len,
size_t n_extra, ...)
{
// ...
va_start(va, n_extra);
for (i = 0; i < n_extra; i++) {
iov[i + 1].iov_base = va_arg(va, void *);
iov[i + 1].iov_len = va_arg(va, size_t);
// ...
Note that varargs here could only be a sequence of `void *` / `size_t`
values.
But in src/dpp-util.c `iwd` attempted to pass `int` there:
prf_plus(sha, prk, bytes, z_out, bytes, 5,
mac_i, 6, // <- here
mac_r, 6, // <- and here
m_x, bytes,
n_x, bytes,
key, strlen(key));
aarch64 stores only 32-bit value part of the register:
mov w7, #0x6
str w7, [sp, #...]
and loads full 64-bit form of the register:
ldr x3, [x3]
As a result higher bits of `iov[].iov_len` contain unexpected values and
sendmsg sends a lot more data than expected to the kernel.
The change fixes test-dpp test for me.
While at it fixed obvious `int` / `size_t` mismatch in src/erp.c.
Fixes: 6320d6db0f ("crypto: remove label from prf_plus, instead use va_args")
The path argument was used purely for debugging. It can be just as
informational printing just the SSID of the profile that failed to
parse the setting without requiring callers allocate a string to
call the function.
Certain tests may require external processes to work
(e.g. testNetconfig) and if missing the test will just hang until
the maximum test timeout. Check in start_process if the exe
actually exists and if not throw an exception.
In order to support identifiers the test profiles needed to be
reworked due to hostapd allowing multiple password entires. You
cannot just call set_value() with a new entry as the old ones
still exist. Instead use a unique password for the identifier and
non-identifier use cases.
After adding this test the failure_test started failing due to
hostapd not starting up. This was due to the group being unsupported
but oddly only when hostapd was reloaded (running the test
individually worked). To fix this the group number was changed to 21
which hostapd does support but IWD does not.
Adds a new network profile setting [Security].PasswordIdentifier.
When set (and the BSS enables SAE password identifiers) the network
and handshake object will read this and use it for the SAE
exchange.
Building the handshake will fail if:
- there is no password identifier set and the BSS sets the
"exclusive" bit.
- there is a password identifier set and the BSS does not set
the "in-use" bit.
