Wireless access point daemon, patched with ubus support
8759e9116a
Linux kernel v4.17 added the ability to request sending controlled port frames (e.g., IEEE 802.1X controlled port EAPOL frames) via nl80211 instead of a normal network socket. Doing this provides the device driver with ordering information between the control port frames and the installation of keys. This empowers it to avoid race conditions between, for example, PTK replacement and the sending of frame 4 of the 4-way rekeying handshake in an RSNA. The key difference between the specific control port and normal socket send is that the device driver will certainly get any EAPOL frames comprising a 4-way handshake before it gets the key installation call for the derived key. By flushing its TX buffers it can then ensure that no pending EAPOL frames are inadvertently encrypted with a key that the peer will not yet have installed. Add a CONTROL_PORT flag to the hostap driver API to report driver capability for using a separate control port for EAPOL frames. This operation is exactly like an Ethernet send except for the extra ordering information it provides for device drivers. The nl80211 driver is updated to support this operation when the device reports support for NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211. Also add a driver op tx_control_port() for request a frame to be sent over the controlled port. Signed-off-by: Brendan Jackman <brendan.jackman@bluwireless.co.uk> |

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2019, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
