Modify netdev_get_iftype, which was until now unused, and add
netdev_set_iftype. Don't skip interfaces with types other than STATION
on startup, instead reset the type to STATION in device.c.
netdev_get_iftype is modified to use our own interface type enum to
avoid forcing users to include "nl80211.h".
Note that setting an interface UP and DOWN wouldn't generally reset the
iftype to STATION. Another process may still change the type while iwd
is running and iwd would not detect this as it would detect another
interface setting interface DOWN, not sure how far we want to go in
monitoring all of the properties this way.
If we're adding the BSS to the list only because it is the current BSS,
set the rank to 0 (lowest possible value) in case the list gets used in
the next Connect call.
Allow attempts to connect to a new AP using the Reassociation frame even
if netdev->operational is false. This is needed if we want to continue
an ongoing roam attempt after the original connection broke and will be
needed when we start using cached PMKSAs in the future.
Use beacon loss event to trigger a roam attempt in addition to the RSSI
monitoring. Due to the how well beacons are normally received compared
to data packets, a beacon loss indicates a serious problem with the
connection so act as soon as a first beacon loss event is seen.
Avoid roaming methods that involve the current AP: preauthentication,
neighbor report request and FT-over-the-DS (not supported)
There are situations including after beacon loss and during FT where the
cfg80211 will detect we're now disconnected (in some cases will send a
Deauthenticate frame too) and generate this event, or the driver may do
this. For example in ieee80211_report_disconnect in net/mac80211/mlme.c
will (through cfg80211) generate a CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE followed by a
CMD_DISCONNECT.
The kernel doesn't reset the netdev's state to disconnected when it
sends us a beacon loss event so we can't either unless we automatically
send a disconnect command to the kernel.
It seems the handling of beacon loss depends on the driver. For example
in mac80211 only after N beacon loss events (default 7) a probe request is
sent to the AP and a deauthenticate packet is sent if no probe reply is
receiver within T (default 500ms).
If an application initiates the Connect() operation and
that application has an agent registered, then that
application's agent will be called. Otherwise, the default
agent is called.

Initialize the skip buffer to 0s. This isn't strictly necessary, but
hides the above valgrind warning.
The aim of arc4 skip is simply to seed some data into the RC4 cipher so
it makes it harder for the attacker to decrypt. This 'initialization'
doesn't really care what data is fed.
CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE is not available for FullMAC based cards. We already
use CMD_CONNECT in the non-FT cases, which works on all cards. However,
for some reason we kept using CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE instead of CMD_DISCONNECT.
For FT (error) cases, keep using CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE.
Certain WiFi drivers do not support using CMD_SET_STATION (e.g.
mwifiex). It is not completely clear how such drivers handle the
AUTHORIZED state, but they don't seem to take it into account. So for
such drivers, ignore the -ENOTSUPP error return from CMD_SET_STATION.
These flags are documented in RFC2863 and kernel's
Documentation/networking/operstates.txt. Operstate doesn't have any
siginificant effect on normal connectivity or on our autotests because
it is not used by the kernel except in some rare cases but it is
supposed to affect some userspace daemons that watch for RTM_NEWLINK
events, so I believe we *should* set them according to this
documentation. Changes:
* There's no point setting link_mode or operstate of the netdev when
we're bringing the admin state DOWN as that overrides operstate.
* Instead of numerical values for link_mode use the if.h defines.
* Set IF_OPER_UP when association succeeds also in the Fast Transition
case. The driver will have set carrier off and then on so the
operstate should be IF_OPER_DORMANT at this point and needs to be
reset to UP.
Allow registering and unregistering agent object to receive RSSI level
notifications. The methods are similar to the ones related to the
password agent, including a Release method for the agent.
Add an methods and an event using the new
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST kernel feature to request RSSI
monitoring with notifications only when RSSI moves from one of the N
intervals requested to another.
device.c will call netdev_set_rssi_report_levels to request
NETDEV_EVENT_RSSI_LEVEL_NOTIFY events every time the RSSI level changes,
level meaning one of the intervals delimited by the threshold values
passed as argument. Inside the event handler it can call
netdev_get_rssi_level to read the new level.
There's no fallback to periodic polling implemented in this patch for
the case of older kernels and/or the driver not supporting
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST.

Agent implementation inside agent.c takes a reference of the trigger
message associated with the request. When the callback is called, the
message is passed as an argument. The callback is responsible for
taking the message reference if necessary. Once the callback returns,
agent releases its reference.
For error paths, our code was using dbus_pending_reply which in turn
uses dbus_message_unref. This caused the agent to try an unref
operation on an already freed object.
Move the calling of the *_shutdown functions from the signal handler to
a new public function, and use that function inside the DBus disconnect
handler to make sure resources are cleanly released.
Skip the matching of the PMKID KDE to the PMKID list in the RSNE if
we've seen a new EAP authentication before the step 1/4 was received.
That would mean that the server had not accepted the PMKIDs we submitted
and we performed a new 8021X authentication, producing a new PMKSA which
won't be on the list in the RSNE.
Currently we'd send EAPOL-Start whenever EAP was configured and we
received an EAPOL-Key before EAP negotiation. Instead only do that if
we know we can't respond to the 4-Way handshake because we don't have
a PMK yet or the PMKID doesn't match. Require a PMKID in step 1/4 if
we'd sent a list of PMKIDs in our RSNE.
Modify the packet filter to also accept frames with ethertype of 0x88c7
and pass the ethertype value to __eapol_rx_packet so it can filter out
the frames where this value doesn't match the sm->preauth flag.
Add a wrapper for eapol_start that sets the sm->preauth flag and sends
the EAPOL-Start frame immediately to skip the timeout since we know
that the supplicant has to initiate the authentication.
Use netdev_reassociate if FT is not available. device_select_akm_suite
is only moved up in the file and the reused code from device_connect is
moved to a separate function.
netdev_reassociate transitions to another BSS without FT. Similar to
netdev_connect but uses reassociation instead of association and
requires and an existing connection.
Pass an additional parameter to the scan results notify functions to
tell them whether the scan was successful. If it wasn't don't bother
passing an empty bss_list queue, pass NULL as bss_list. This way the
callbacks can tell whether the scan indicates there are no BSSes in
range or simply was aborted and the old scan results should be kept.

Also handle the case of a periodic scan when handling a
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED. The goal is to make sure the supplied callback
is always called if .trigger was called before, but this should also fix
some other corner cases.
* I add a sp.triggered field for periodic scans since sc->state doesn't
tell us whether the scan in progress was triggered by ourselved o
someone else (in that case .trigger has not been called)
* Since the NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED becomes similar to get_scan_done I
move the common code to scan_finished
* I believe this fixes a situation where we weren't updating sc->state
if we'd not triggered the scan, because both get_scan_done and the
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED would return directly.
If the current request is not freed when we receive the
NL80211_CMD_SCAN_ABORTED event, device.c will keep thinking that
we're still scanning and the scan.c logic also gets confused and may
resend the current request at some point and call sr->trigger again
causing a segfault in device.c.
I pass an empty bss_list to the callback, another possibility would be
to pass NULL to let the callback know not to replace old results yet.
The callbacks would need to handle a NULL first.
Handle the changes of interface address in RTNL New Link messages
similarly to the name changes, emit a NETDEV_WATCH_EVENT_ADDRESS_CHANGE
event and a propety change on dbus.
Note this can only happen when the interface is down so it doesn't
break anything but we need to handle it anyway.
DBus has certain rules on what constitutes a valid path. Since the
wiphy name is freeform, it is possible to set it such that the contents
do not contain a valid path.
We fall back to simply using the wiphy index as the path.
DBus strings must be valid utf8. The kernel only enforces that the
wiphy name is null terminated string. It does not validate or otherwise
check the contents in any way. Thus it is possible to have
non-printable or non-utf8 characters inside.
NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY can be used to set various attributes on the wiphy
object in the kernel. This includes ATTR_WIPHY_NAME among others. iwd
currently does not parse or store any of the other attributes, so we
react to changes in WIPHY_NAME only.
The wiphy attribute should never be repeated by the kernel, so this
check is ultimately not needed. This condition can also be easily
checked by looking at the iwmon output in case things do go terribly
wrong.
Fix 1a64c4b771 by setting use_eapol_start
by default only when 8021x authentication is configured. Otherwise we'd
be sending EAPOL-Start even for WPA2 Personal possibly after the 4-Way
Handshake success.
This implements very initial support of WPS PIN based connections. The
scanning logic attempts to find an AP in PIN mode and tries to connect
to that AP. We currently do not try multiple APs if available or
implement the WSC 1.0 connection logic.
Right now the code checks for is_rsn to wait for the 4-way handshake and
sends the NETDEV_EVENT_4WAY_HANDSHAKE. However, is_rsn condition is not
true for WSC connections since they do not set an RSN field. Still,
they are EAP based handshakes and should be treated in the same manner.
We relax the is_rsn check to instead check for netdev->sm. Currently
netdev->sm is only non-NULL if handshake->own_ie field is not NULL or in
the case of eap-wsc connections.
Define minimum delay between roam attempts and add automatic retries.
This handles a few situations:
* roam attempt failing, then RSSI going above the threshold and below
again -- in that case we don't want to reattempt too soon, we'll only
reattempt after 60s.
* roam attempt failing then RSSI staying low for longer than 60 -- in
that case we want to reattempt after 60s too.
* signal being low from the moment we connected -- in that case we also
want to attempt a roam every some time.
Fix a leak of the MDE buffer. It is now only needed for the single call
to handshake_state_set_mde which copies the bytes anyway so use a buffer
on stack.
Since caab23f192085e6c8e47c41fc1ae9f795d1cbe86 hostapd is going to set
this bit to zero for RSN networks but both values will obviously be in
use. Only check the value if is_wpa is true - in this case check the
value is exactly 16, see hostapd commit:

Set EAPOL-Key Key Length field to 0 for group message 1/2 in RSN
P802.11i/D3.0 described the Key Length as having value 16 for the group
key handshake. However, this was changed to 0 in the published IEEE Std
802.11i-2004 amendment (and still remains 0 in the current standard IEEE
Std 802.11-2016). We need to maintain the non-zero value for WPA (v1)
cases, but the RSN case can be changed to 0 to be closer to the current
standard.
Add sr NULL check before accessing sr->id. Call scan_request_free on
request structure and call the destroy callback. Cancel the netlink
TRIGGER_SCAN command if still running and try starting the next scan
in the queue. It'll probably still fail with EBUSY but it'll be
reattempted later.
Always call start_next_scan_request when a scan request has finished,
with a success or a failure, including a periodic scan attempt. Inside
that function check if there's any work to be done, either for one-off
scan requests or periodic scan, instead of having this check only inside
get_scan_done. Call start_next_scan_request in scan_periodic_start and
scan_periodic_timeout.
Also call the trigger callback with an error code when sending the
netlink command fails after the scan request has been queued because
another scan was in progress when the scan was requested.

The reasoning is that the logic inside scan_common is reversed. Instead
of freeing the scan request on error, we always do it. This causes the
trigger_scan callback to receive invalid userdata.
Save the ids of the netlink trigger scan commands that we send and
cancel them in scan_ifindex_remove to fix a race leading to a
segfault. The segfault would happen every time if scan_ifindex_remove
was called in the same main loop iteration in which we sent the
command, on shutdown:

Parse the contents of the GTK and IGTK subelements in an FT IE instead
of working with buffers containing the whole subelement. Some more
validation of the subelement contents. Drop support for GTK / IGTK when
building the FTE (unused).
Don't start the handshake timeout in eapol_start if either
handshake->ptk_complete is set (handshake already done) or
handshake->have_snonce is set (steps 1&2 done). This accounts for
eapol_start being called after a Fast Transition when a 4-Way handshake
is not expected.
Add a flush flag to scan_parameters to tell the kernel to flush the
cache of scan results before the new scan. Use this flag in the
active scan during roaming.
Split the igtk parameter to handshake_state_install_igtk into one
parameter for the actual IGTK buffer and one for the IPN buffer instead
of requiring the caller to have them both in one continuous buffer.
With FT protocol, one is received encrypted and the other in plain text.
Make sure that the Neighbor Report timeout is cancelled when connection
breaks or device is being destroyed, and call the callback. Add an
errno parameter to the callback to indicate the cause.
With this patch an actual fast transition should happen when the signal
strength goes low but there are still various details to be fixed before
this becomes useful:
* the kernel tends to return cached scan results and won't update the
rssi values,
* there's no timer to prevent too frequent transition attempts or to
retry after some time if the signal is still low,
* no candidate other than the top ranked BSS is tried. With FT it
may be impossible to try another BSS anyway although there isn't
anything in the spec to imply this. It would require keeping the
handshake_state around after netdev gives up on the transition
attempt.
Trigger a scan of the selected channels or all channels if no useful
neighbor list was obtained, then process the scan results to select the
final target BSS.
The actual transition to the new BSS is not included in this patch for
readability.
Trigger a roam attempt when the RSSI level has been low for at least 5
seconds using the netdev RSSI LOW/HIGH events. See if neighbor reports
are supported and if so, request and process the neighbor reports list
to restrict the number of channels to be scanned. The scanning part is
not included in this patch for readability.
Validate the fourth message of the fast transition sequence and save the
new keys and state as current values in the netdev object. The
FT-specific IE validation that was already present in the initial MD
is moved to a new function.
Build and send the FT Authentication Request frame, the initial Fast
Transition message.
In this version the assumption is that once we start a transition attempt
there's no going back so the old handshake_state, scan_bss, etc. can be
replaced by the new objects immediately and there's no point at which both
the old and the new connection states are needed. Also the disconnect
event for the old connection is implicit. At netdev level the state
during a transition is almost the same with a new connection setup.
The first disconnect event on the netlink socket after the FT Authenticate
is assumed to be the one generated by the kernel for the old connection.
The disconnect event doesn't contain the AP bssid (unlike the
deauthenticate event preceding it), otherwise we could check to see if
the bssid is the one we are interested in or could check connect_cmd_id
assuming a disconnect doesn't happen before the connect command finishes.
This adds support for iwd.conf 'ManagementFrameProtection' setting.
This setting has the following semantics, with '1' being the default:
0 - MFP off, even if hardware is capable
1 - Use MFP if available
2 - MFP required. If the hardware is not capable, no connections will
be possible. Use at your own risk.
Despite RFC3748 mandating MSKs to be at least 256 bits some EAP methods
return shorter MSKs. Since we call handshake_failed when the MSK is too
short, EAP methods have to be careful with their calls to set_key_material
because it may result in a call to the method's .remove method.
EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS can't handle that currently and would be difficult to
adapt because of the TLS internals but they always set msk_len to 64 so
handshake_failed will not be called.
Make sure that eap_set_key_material can free the whole EAP method and
EAP state machine before returning, by calling that function last. This
relies on eap_mschapv2_handle_success being the last call in about 5
stack frames above it too.
Action Frames are sent by nl80211 as unicast data. We're not receiving
any other unicast packets in iwd at this time so let netdev directly
handle all unicast data on the genl socket.
Add a version of scan_active that accepts a struct with the scan
parameters so we can more easily add new parameters. Since the genl
message is now built within scan_active_start the extra_ie memory
can be freed by the caller at any time.
clang complains about enum as var_arg type
because of the argument standard conversion.
In a small test I did neither clang nor gcc can
properly warn about out of range values, so it's
purely for documentation either way.
There are situations when a CMD_DISCONNECT or deauthenticate will be
issued locally because of an error detected locally where netdev would
not be able to emit a event to the device object. The CMD_DISCONNECT
handler can only send an event if the disconnect is triggered by the AP
because we don't have an enum value defined for other diconnects. We
have these values defined for the connect callback but those errors may
happen when the connect callback is already NULL because a connection
has been estabilshed. So add an event type for local errors.
These situations may occur in a transition negotiation or in an eapol
handshake failure during rekeying resulting in a call to
netdev_handshake_failed.
The kernel parses NL80211_ATTR_USE_MFP to mean an enumeration
nl80211_mfp. So instead of using a boolean, we should be using the
value NL80211_MFP_REQUIRED.
Make the use of EAPOL-Start the default and send it when configured for
8021x and either we receive no EAPOL-EAP from from the AP before
timeout, or if the AP tries to start a 4-Way Handshake.
On certain routers, the 4-Way handshake message 3 of 4 contains a key iv
field which is not zero as it is supposed to. This causes us to fail
the handshake.
Since the iv field is not utilized in this particular case, it is safe
to simply warn rather than fail the handshake outright.
Use the NLMSG_ALIGN macro on the family header size (struct ifinfomsg in
this case). The ascii graphics in include/net/netlink.h show that both
the netlink header and the family header should be padded. The netlink
header (nlmsghdr) is already padded in ell. To "document" this
requirementin ell what we could do is take two buffers, one for the
family header and one for the attributes.
This doesn't change anything for most people because ifinfomsg is
already 16-byte long on the usual architectures.
Remove the keys and other data from struct eapol_sm, update device.c,
netdev.c and wsc.c to use the handshake_state object instead of
eapol_sm. This also gets rid of eapol_cancel and the ifindex parameter
in some of the eapol functions where sm->handshake->ifindex can be
used instead.
struct handshake_state is an object that stores all the key data and other
authentication state and does the low level operations on the keys. Together
with the next patch this mostly just splits eapol.c into two layers
so that the key operations can also be used in Fast Transitions which don't
use eapol.
If device_select_akm_suite selects Fast Transition association then pass
the MD IE and other bits needed for eapol and netdev to do an FT
association and 4-Way Handshake.
If an MD IE is supplied to netdev_connect, pass that MD IE in the
associate request, then validate and handle the MD IE and FT IE in the
associate response from AP.
Add space in the eapol_sm struct for the pieces of information required
for the FT 4-Way Handshake and add setters for device.c and netdev.c to
be able to provide the data.
Don't decide on the AKM suite to use when the bss entries are received
and processed, instead select the suite when the connection is triggered
using a new function device_select_akm_suite, similar to
wiphy_select_cipher(). Describing the AKM suite through flags will be
more difficult when more than 2 suites per security type are supported.
Also handle the wiphy_select_cipher 0 return value when no cipher can be
selected.
The len parameter was only used so it could be validated against ie[1],
but since it was not checked to be > 2, it must have been validated
already, the check was redundant. In any case all users directly
passed ie[1] as len anyway. This makes it consistent with the ie
parsers and builders which didn't require a length.
In many cases the pairwise and group cipher information is not the only
information needed from the BSS RSN/WPA elements in order to make a
decision. For example, th MFPC/MFPR bits might be needed, or
pre-authentication capability bits, group management ciphers, etc.
This patch refactors bss_get_supported_ciphers into the more general
scan_bss_get_rsn_info function
Split eapol_start into two calls, one to register the state machine so
that the PAE read handler knows not to discard frames for that ifindex,
and eapol_start to actually start processing the frames. This is needed
because, as per the comment in netdev.c, due to scheduling the PAE
socket read handler may trigger before the CMD_CONNECT event handler,
which needs to parse the FTE from the Associate Response frame and
supply it to the eapol SM before it can do anything with the message 1
of 4 of the FT handshake.
Another issue is that depending on the driver or timing, the underlying
link might not be marked as 'ready' by the kernel. In this case, our
response to Message 1 of the 4-way Handshake is written and accepted by
the kernel, but gets dropped on the floor internally. Which leads to
timeouts if the AP doesn't retransmit.
