There's no reason why a change in groups would result in the
anti-clogging token becoming invalid. This might result in us needing
an extra round-trip if the peer is using countermeasures and our
requested group was deemed unsuitable.
We may receive multiple anti-clogging request messages. We memdup the
token every time, without checking whether memory for one has already
been allocated. Free the old token prior to allocating a new one.
The group was not checked at all. The specification doesn't
mention doing so specifically, but we are only likely to receive an Anti
Clogging Token Request message once we have sent our initial Commit. So
the group should be something we could have sent or might potentially be
able to use.
In case an exceptional condition occurs, handle this more consistently
by returning the following errors:
-ENOMSG -- If a message results in the retransmission timer t0 being
restarted without actually sending anything.
-EBADMSG -- If a received message is to be silently discarded without
affecting the t0 timer.
-ETIMEDOUT -- If SYNC_MAX has been exceeded
-EPROTO -- If a fatal protocol error occurred
Now that sae_verify_* methods no longer allow dropped frames though,
there's no reason to keep these checks. sae_process_commit and
sae_process_confirm will now always receive messages in their respective
state.
sae_verify_* functions were correctly marking frames to be dropped, but
were returning 0, which caused the to-be-dropped frames to be further
processed inside sae_rx_authenticate. Fix that by returning a proper
error.
Make sure to return -EAGAIN whenever a received frame from the peer
results in a retransmission. This also prevents the frame from being
mistakenly processed further in sae_rx_authenticate.
Do not try to transition to a new state from sae_send_commit /
sae_send_confirm since these methods can be called due to
retransmissions or other unexpected messages. Instead, transition to
the new state explicitly from sae_process_commit / sae_process_confirm.
SAE protocol is meant to authenticate peers simultaneously. Hence it
includes a tie-breaker provision in case both peers enter into the
Committed state and the Commit messages arrive at the respective peers
near simultaneously.
However, in the case of STA or Infrastructure mode, only one peer (STA)
would normally enter the Committed state (via Init) and the tie-breaker
provision is not needed. If this condition is detected, abort the
connection.
Also remove the uneeded group change check in process_commit.
sae_compute_pwe doesn't really depend on the state of sae_sm. Only the
curve to be used for the PWE calculation is needed. Rework the function
signature to reflect that and remove unneeded member of struct sae_sm.
ie_tlv_builder_init takes a size_t as input, yet for some reason
ie_tlv_builder_finalize takes an unsigned int argument as output. Fix
the latter to use size_t as well.
During processing of Connect events by netdev, some of these elements
might be updated even when already set. Instead of issuing
l_free/l_memdup each time, check and see whether the elements are
bitwise identical first.
Returns a template RSNX element that can be further modified by callers
to set any additional capabilities if required. wiphy will fill in
those capabilities that are driver / firmware dependent.
Most parameters set into the handshake object are actually known by the
network object itself and not station. This includes address
randomization settings, EAPoL settings, passphrase/psk/8021x settings,
etc. Since the number of these settings will only keep growing, move
the handshake setup into network itself. This also helps keep network
internals better encapsulated.
Refactor network_sync_psk to not require setting attributes into
multiple settings objects. This is in fact unnecessary as the parsed
security parameters are used everywhere else instead. Also make sure to
wipe the [Security] group first, in case any settings were invalid
during loading or otherwise invalidated.
Credentials obtained can now be either in passphrase or PSK form. Prior
to commit 7a9891dbef, passphrase credentials were always converted to
PSK form by invoking crypto_psk_from_passphrase. This was changed in
order to support WPA3 networks. Unfortunately the provisioning logic
was never properly updated. Fix that, and also try to not overwrite any
existing settings in case WSC is providing credentials for networks that
are already known.
Fixes: 7a9891dbef ("wsc: store plain text passphrase if available")
There will be additional security-related settings that will be
introduced for settings files. In particular, Hash-to-Curve PT
elements, Transition Disable settings and potentially others in the
future. Since PSK is now not the only element that would require
update, rename this function to better reflect this.
PRF+ from RFC 5295 is the more generic function using which HKDF_Expand
is defined. Allow this function to take a vararg list of arguments to
be hashed (these are referred to as 'S' in the RFCs).
Implement hkdf_expand in terms of prf_plus and update all uses to the
new syntax.
This fixes an issue where the udp port was not being opened due to a
permission denied error. The result of this was the dhcp client would
fail to send the renewal request and so the dhcp lease would expire.
The addition of the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability allows the service
to open sockets in the restricted port range (<1024) which is required
for dhcp.
This is based on a previous patch by Roberto Santalla Fernández.
A new config is introduced into the network config file under IPv4
called SendHostname. If this is set to true then we add the hostname
into all DHCP requests. The default is false.
If the idea is that the interface should only be present when connected
then don't do this in the DISCONNECTING state as there are various
possible transitions from CONNECTED or ROAMING directly to DISCONNECTED.
Don't require a gateway address from the settings file or from the DHCP
server when doing netconfig. Failing when the gateway address was
missing was breaking P2P but also small local networks.
Be paranoid and check that the prefix length in addresses from
used_addr4_list are not zero (they shouldn't be) and that address family
is AF_INET (it should be), mainly to quiet coverity warnings:
While there also fix one line's indentation.
At the end of ip_pool_select_addr4() we'd check if the selected address
is equal to the subnet address and increment it by 1 to produce a valid
host address for the AP. That check was always correct only with 24-bit
prefix, extend it to actually use the prefix-dependent mask instead of
0xff. Fixes a testAP failure triggered 50% of the times because the
netmask is 28 bit long there.
Don't signal the connected state until the client has obtained a DHCP
lease and we can set the ConnectedIP property. From now on that
property is always set when there's a connection.
p2p_parse_association_req() already extracts the P2P IE payload from the
IE sequence, there's no need to call ie_tlv_extract_p2p_payload before
it. Pass the IE sequence directly to p2p_parse_association_req().
Similarly to commit
27d302a0 ("band: Add a utility to estimate VHT rx data rate"), this
commit adds an RX data rate estimation utility for HT connections.
This function is meant to supercede a similar function in ie.c. The
current approach results in very optimistic data rate estimates since it
only takes into account the VHT/HT Capabilities IEs. It does not take
into account any local hardware limitations (such as no VHT/HT support),
limited RX MCS sets & number of spatial streams. It also does not take
into account that the AP might not be actually operating on higher
bandwidth channels.
This function is meant to address that by matching peer TX MCS sets with
the local hardware RX MCS set capability. It also takes into account
channel bandwidth capabilities of the local hardware, as well as whether
the AP is actually operating on a wider channel.
Move the band definition out of wiphy.c and into band.[ch]. This is
done to make certain utilities that depend on band information capable
of being tested from unit tests.
The band concept will most likely grow over time. For now, the only
user will be wiphy.c and unit tests, so the structures are kept public.
It is possible that the address set command succeeds just after a
netconfig object has been destroyed.

netdev_free relies on netdev->connected being set to detect whether a
connection is in progress. This variable is only set once the driver
has been connected however, so for situations where a CMD_CONNECT is
still 'in flight' or if the wiphy work is still pending, the ongoing
connection will not be canceled. Fix that by being more thorough when
trying to detect that a connection is in progress.

If the daemon is started and killed rapidly on startup, it is possible
for netdev_shutdown to be called prior to manager processing messages
that actually create the netdev itself. Since the netdev_list has
already been freed, the storage is lost. Fix that by destroying
netdev_list only when the module is unloaded.
If we're going down, make sure to notify any watches about EVENT_DEL
earlier. Not doing so might result in us not cleaning up requests that
might have been started as the result of this event.
station_free() is invoked when one of two possibilities happen:
- Device has been powered down, and EVENT_DOWN has been emitted
- Device has been removed, and EVENT_DEL has been emitted
In both cases there is not much point for netdev_disconnect to be
invoked as that tries to cleanly shut down an existing connection. The
only thing the ABORTED error accomplishes in this case is to send a
dbus_aborted_error for the pending_connect message, if it exists.
There's already code for doing this in station_free().

The data rate estimation belongs in wiphy since it should take hardware
capabilities into account. Right now the data rate calculation simply
assumes the hardware is as capable as the AP. scan.c will be ported to
use this utility and the data rate estimation will be expanded to take
wiphy capabilities into account.
scan_parse_result used to parse the wdev and return this to the caller
where it was compared against the expected wdev. Simplify this by
extract the wdev first, and proceeding with the bss parsing afterwards.
Right now a very limited set of band parameters are parsed into wiphy.
This includes the supported rates and the supported frequencies.
However, there is much more information that is given for each band.
Introduce a new band object that will store this information and can be
extended for future use.
Change the char *addr_str and uint8_t prefix_len pair to an
l_rtnl_address object and use ell/rtnl.h utilities that use that
directly. Extend broadcast_from_ip to handle prefix_len.
We generate the DBus error reply type from the errno only when
ap_start() was failing synchronously, now also send the errno through
the callbacks so that we can also return a specific DBus reply when
failing asynchronously. Thea AP autotest relies on receiving the
AlreadyExists DBus error.
Deprecate the global [General].APRanges setting in favour of
[IPv4].APAddressPool with an extended (but backwards-compatible) syntax.
Drop the existing address pool creation code.
The new APAddressPool setting has the same syntax as the profile-local
[IPv4].Address setting and the subnet selection code will fall back
to the global setting if it's missing, this way we use common code to
handle both settings.
Extend the [IPv4].Address setting's syntax to allow a new format: a list
of <IP>/<prefix_len> -form strings that define the address space from
which a subnet is selected. Rewrite the DHCP settings loading with
other notable changes:
* validate some of the settings more thoroughly,
* name all netconfig-related ap_state members with the netconfig_
prefix,
* make sure we always call l_dhcp_server_set_netmask(),
* allow netmasks other than 24-bit and change the default to 28 bits,
* as requested avoid using the l_net_ ioctl-based functions although
l_dhcp still uses them internally,
* as requested avoid touching the ap_state members until the end of
some functions so that on error they're basically a no-op (for
readability).
Add the ip_pool_select_addr4 function to select a random subnet of requested
size from an address space defined by a string list (for use with the
AP profile [IPv4].Address and the global [IPv4].APAddressPool settings),
avoiding those subnets that conflict with subnets in use. We take care
to give a similar weight to all subnets contained in the specified
ranges regardless of how many ranges contain each, basically so that
overlapping ranges don't affect the probabilities (debatable.)
Add the ip-pool submodule that tracks IPv4 addresses in use on the
system for use when selecting the address for a new AP. l_rtnl_address
is used internally because if we're going to return l_rtnl_address
objects it would be misleading if we didn't fill in all of their
properties like flags etc.
If the connected BSS changes channel, netdev will emit an event with the
new channel's frequency. In response, have station change the frequency
of the connected scan_bss struct and inform network about the update.
If the connected BSS announces that it is switching operating channel,
the kernel may emit the NL80211_CMD_CH_SWTICH_NOTIFY event when the
switch is complete. Add a new netdev event NETDEV_EVENT_CHANNEL_SWITCHED
to signal to interested modules that the connected BSS has changed
channel. The event carries a pointer to the new channel's frequency.
NL80211_BSS_LAST_SEEN_BOOTTIME is expressed in nanoseconds, while BSS
timestamps are expressed in microseconds internally. Convert the
attribute to microseconds when using it to timestamp a BSS. This makes
iwd expire absent BSSes within 30 seconds as intended.
Fixes: 454cee12d4 ("scan: Use kernel-reported time-stamp if provided")
Right now, if a connection to a network selected by auto-connect fails,
the entire autoconnect process is restarted. This means that scans are
kicked off again, auto-connect list is rebuilt, etc. This was due to
auto-connect reusing the same failure path as connections triggered via
D-Bus.
The above behavior can lead to weird situations in certain corner cases.
For example, a highly preferred network configured with the wrong
password would result in auto-connect entering an infinite loop.
Fix this by making sure that all auto-connect entries are tried and
exhausted prior to re-scanning again.
The temporary ban list is cleared when a network is connected to
successfully, and also in network_connect_failed. Unfortunately,
network_connect_failed is not called in all paths (i.e. during
autoconnect) since it messes with the state of secrets and passphrases.
Clear the list in network_disconnected() instead, since it is guaranteed
to be called in every circumstance.
This will be effectively the same as the CONNECTING state, but can be
used to enable differing behavior, depending on whether connection was
triggered by autoconnect or via D-Bus.
Code that walked the VHT TX/RX MCS maps seemed to assume that bit_field
operated on bits that start at '1'. But this utility actually operates
on bits that start at '0'. I.e. the least significant bit is at
position 0.
While we're at it, rename the mcs variable into bitoffset to make it
clearer how the maps are being iterated over. Supported MCS is actually
the value found in the map.
This option has not been used in a very long time, and is of limited
utility since the only thing D-Bus debugging does is hexdumps the
content of D-Bus messages to the terminal.
The current calculation was giving erroneous results when it came to VHT
MCS index 4 and VHT MCS index 8 & 9.
Switch to a precomputed look up table and add a multiplication factor
for short GI.
ap_reset() seems to be called whenever the AP is stopped or removed due
to interface shutdown. For some reason ap_reset did not remove the DHCP
server object, resulting in leaks:

Prior to the BSS blacklist a BSS based autoconnect list made
the most sense, but now station actually retries all BSS's upon
failure. This means that for each BSS in the autoconnect list
every other BSS under that SSID will be attempted to connect to
if there is a failure. Essentially this is a network based
autoconnect list, just an indirect way of doing it.
Intead the autoconnect list can be purely network based, using
the network rank for sorting. This avoids the need for a special
autoconnect_entry struct as well as ensures the last connected
network is chosen first (simply based on existing network ranking
logic).
It was observed that IWD's ranking for BSS's did not always
end up with the fastest being chosen. This was due to IWD's
heavy weight on signal strength. This is a decent way of ranking
but even better is calculating a theoretical data rate which
was also done and factored in. The problem is the data rate
factor was always outdone by the signal strength.
Intead remove signal strength entirely as this is already taken
into account with the data rate calculation. This also removes
the check for rate IEs. If no IEs are found the parser will
base the data rate soley on RSSI.
There were a few other factors removed which will be added back
when ranking *networks* rather than BSS's. WPA version (or open)
was removed as well as the privacy capability. These values really
should not differ between BSS's in the same SSID and as such
should be used for network ranking instead.
Both ext/supported rates IEs are obtained from scan results. These
IEs are passed to ie_tlv_init/ie_tlv_next, as well as direct length
checks (for supported rates at least, extended supported rates can
be as long as a single byte integer can hold, 1 - 255) which verifies
that the length in the IE matches the overall IE length that is
stored in scan_bss. Because of this, ie_parse_supported_rates_from_data
was doing double duty re-initializing a TLV iterator.
Intead, since we know the IE length is within bounds, the length/data
can simply be directly accessed out of the buffer. This avoids the need
for a wrapper function entirely.
The length parameters were also removed, since this is now obtained
directly from the IE.
Since netdev maintains the list of FT over DS info structs there is not
any need for station to get callbacks when the initial action frame
is received, or not. This removes the need for the callback handler,
user data, and response timeout.
Roam times can be slightly improved by sending out the FT-over-DS
action frames to any BSS in the mobility domain immediately after
connecting. This preauthenticates IWD to each AP which means
Reassociation can happen right away when a roam is needed.
When a roam is needed station_transition_start will first try
FT-over-DS (if supported) via netdev_fast_transtion_over_ds. The
return is checked and if netdev has no cached entries FT-over-Air
will be used instead.
The beauty of FT-over-DS is that a station can send and receive
action frames to many APs to prepare for a future roam. Each
AP authenticates the station and when a roam happens the station
can immediately move to reassociation.
To handle this a queue of netdev_ft_over_ds_info structs is used
instead of a single entry. Using the new ft.c parser APIs these
info structs can be looked up when responses come in. For now
the timeouts/callbacks are kept but these will be removed as it
really does not matter if the AP sends a response (keeps station
happy until the next patch).
This is to prepare for multiple concurrent FT-over-DS action frames.
A list will be kept in netdev and for lookup reasons it needs to
parse the start of the frame to grab the aa/spa addresses. In this
call the IEs are also returned and passed to the new
ft_over_ds_parse_action_response.
For now the address checks have been moved into netdev, but this will
eventually turn into a queue lookup.
This value sets the roaming threshold on 5GHz networks. The
threshold has been separated from 2.4GHz because in many cases
5GHz can perform much better at low RSSI than 2.4GHz.
In addition the BSS ranking logic was re-worked and now 5GHz is
much more preferred, even at low RSSI. This means we need a
lower floor for RSSI before roaming, otherwise IWD would end
up roaming immediately after connecting due to low RSSI CQM
events.
This is being added as a developer method and should not be used
in production. For testing purposes though, it is quite useful as
it forces IWD to roam to a provided BSS and bypasses IWD's roaming
and ranking logic for choosing a roam candidate.
To use this a BSSID is provided as the only parameter. If this
BSS is not in IWD's current scan results -EINVAL will be returned.
If IWD knows about the BSS it will attempt to roam to it whether
that is via FT, FT-over-DS, or Reassociation. These details are
still sorted out in IWDs station_transition_start() logic.
This will enable developer features to be used. Currently the
only user of this will be StationDiagnostics.Roam() method which
should only be exposed in this mode.
