This update for hostapd fixes the following issues:
hostapd was updated to version 2.9:
Update to version 2.8 * SAE changes - added support for SAE Password Identifier - changed default configuration to enable only group 19 (i.e., disable groups 20, 21, 25, 26 from default configuration) and disable all unsuitable groups completely based on REVmd changes - improved anti-clogging token mechanism and SAE authentication frame processing during heavy CPU load; this mitigates some issues with potential DoS attacks trying to flood an AP with large number of SAE messages - added Finite Cyclic Group field in status code 77 responses - reject use of unsuitable groups based on new implementation guidance in REVmd (allow only FFC groups with prime >= 3072 bits and ECC groups with prime >= 256) - minimize timing and memory use differences in PWE derivation [https://w1.fi/security/2019-1/] (CVE-2019-9494) - fixed confirm message validation in error cases [https://w1.fi/security/2019-3/] (CVE-2019-9496) * EAP-pwd changes - minimize timing and memory use differences in PWE derivation [https://w1.fi/security/2019-2/] (CVE-2019-9495) - verify peer scalar/element [https://w1.fi/security/2019-4/] (CVE-2019-9497 and CVE-2019-9498) - fix message reassembly issue with unexpected fragment [https://w1.fi/security/2019-5/] - enforce rand,mask generation rules more strictly - fix a memory leak in PWE derivation - disallow ECC groups with a prime under 256 bits (groups 25, 26, and 27) * Hotspot 2.0 changes - added support for release number 3 - reject release 2 or newer association without PMF * added support for RSN operating channel validation (CONFIGOCV=y and configuration parameter ocv=1) * added Multi-AP protocol support * added FTM responder configuration * fixed build with LibreSSL * added FT/RRB workaround for short Ethernet frame padding * fixed KEK2 derivation for FILS+FT * added RSSI-based association rejection from OCE * extended beacon reporting functionality * VLAN changes - allow local VLAN management with remote RADIUS authentication - add WPA/WPA2 passphrase/PSK -based VLAN assignment * OpenSSL: allow systemwide policies to be overridden * extended PEAP to derive EMSK to enable use with ERP/FILS * extended WPS to allow SAE configuration to be added automatically for PSK (wpscredaddsae=1) * fixed FT and SA Query Action frame with AP-MLME-in-driver cases * OWE: allow Diffie-Hellman Parameter element to be included with DPP in preparation for DPP protocol extension * RADIUS server: started to accept ERP keyName-NAI as user identity automatically without matching EAP database entry * fixed PTK rekeying with FILS and FT
wpasupplicant: * SAE changes - added support for SAE Password Identifier - changed default configuration to enable only groups 19, 20, 21 (i.e., disable groups 25 and 26) and disable all unsuitable groups completely based on REVmd changes - do not regenerate PWE unnecessarily when the AP uses the anti-clogging token mechanisms - fixed some association cases where both SAE and FT-SAE were enabled on both the station and the selected AP - started to prefer FT-SAE over SAE AKM if both are enabled - started to prefer FT-SAE over FT-PSK if both are enabled - fixed FT-SAE when SAE PMKSA caching is used - reject use of unsuitable groups based on new implementation guidance in REVmd (allow only FFC groups with prime >= 3072 bits and ECC groups with prime >= 256) - minimize timing and memory use differences in PWE derivation [https://w1.fi/security/2019-1/] (CVE-2019-9494) * EAP-pwd changes - minimize timing and memory use differences in PWE derivation [https://w1.fi/security/2019-2/] (CVE-2019-9495) - verify server scalar/element [https://w1.fi/security/2019-4/] (CVE-2019-9499) - fix message reassembly issue with unexpected fragment [https://w1.fi/security/2019-5/] - enforce rand,mask generation rules more strictly - fix a memory leak in PWE derivation - disallow ECC groups with a prime under 256 bits (groups 25, 26, and 27) * fixed CONFIGIEEE80211R=y (FT) build without CONFIGFILS=y * Hotspot 2.0 changes - do not indicate release number that is higher than the one AP supports - added support for release number 3 - enable PMF automatically for network profiles created from credentials * fixed OWE network profile saving * fixed DPP network profile saving * added support for RSN operating channel validation (CONFIGOCV=y and network profile parameter ocv=1) * added Multi-AP backhaul STA support * fixed build with LibreSSL * number of MKA/MACsec fixes and extensions * extended domainmatch and domainsuffixmatch to allow list of values * fixed dNSName matching in domainmatch and domainsuffixmatch when using wolfSSL * started to prefer FT-EAP-SHA384 over WPA-EAP-SUITE-B-192 AKM if both are enabled * extended nl80211 Connect and external authentication to support SAE, FT-SAE, FT-EAP-SHA384 * fixed KEK2 derivation for FILS+FT * extended clientcert file to allow loading of a chain of PEM encoded certificates * extended beacon reporting functionality * extended D-Bus interface with number of new properties * fixed a regression in FT-over-DS with mac80211-based drivers * OpenSSL: allow systemwide policies to be overridden * extended driver flags indication for separate 802.1X and PSK 4-way handshake offload capability * added support for random P2P Device/Interface Address use * extended PEAP to derive EMSK to enable use with ERP/FILS * extended WPS to allow SAE configuration to be added automatically for PSK (wpscredaddsae=1) * removed support for the old D-Bus interface (CONFIGCTRLIFACEDBUS) * extended domainmatch and domainsuffixmatch to allow list of values * added a RSN workaround for misbehaving PMF APs that advertise IGTK/BIP KeyID using incorrect byte order * fixed PTK rekeying with FILS and FT
