The Android-specific chmod and chown operations on the client socket
(for communication with wpa_supplicant) did not protect against file
replacement between the bind() and chmod()/chown() calls. If the
directory in which the client socket is created (depends a bit on the
version and platform, but /data/misc/wifi/sockets is commonly used)
allows write access to processes that are different (less privileged)
compared to the process calling wpa_ctrl_open2(), it might be possible
to delete the socket file and replace it with something else (mainly, a
symlink) before the chmod/chown operations occur. This could have
resulted in the owner or permissions of the target of that symlink being
modified.
In general, it would be safest to use a directory which has more limited
write privileges (/data/misc/wifi/sockets normally has 'wifi' group
(AID_WIFI) with write access), but if that cannot be easily changed due
to other constraints, it is better to make wpa_ctrl_open2() less likely
to enable this type of race condition between the operations.
Replace chown() with lchown() (i.e., a version that does not dereference
symlinks) and chmod() with fchmod() on the socket before the bind() call
which is also not going to dereference a symlink (whereas chmod()
would). lchown() is a standard operation, but the fchmod() on the socket
is less so (unspecified behavior in some systems). However, it seems to
work on Linux and in particular, on Android, where this code is
executed.

In 2013 or so, IFNAME=foo was prepended to at least the Unix socket
communication from wpa_supplicant to wpa_cli. This broke the (fragile)
logic that made ping/pong work more often when wpa_supplicant is busy
sending logging info to wpa_cli.
Adding check for IFNAME=foo makes this work better.

Split chown() call in wpa_ctrl_open() and wpa_ctrl_open2() to allow the
group id to be set even if the process does not have privileges to
change the owner. This is needed for modules that need to communicate
with wpa_supplicant since without the group change, wpa_supplicant may
not have privileges to send the response to a control interface command.

This adds a new helper function wpa_ctrl_open2() that can be used
instead of wpa_ctrl_open() to override the default client socket
directory. Add optional -s<directory path> argument to hostapd_cli and
wpa_cli to allow the client socket directory to be specified.

wpa_ctrl.c gets sys/stat.h inherited from
private/android_filesystem_config.h it should
not rely on this in the future. The intent is
to move fs_config function into libcutils and
thus deprecate any need for sys/stat.h in this
include file.

This converts os_snprintf() result validation cases to use
os_snprintf_error() for cases that were note covered by spatch and
semantic patches.

Add IPv6 support when using udp/udp-remote control interface using the
following new build configuration options:
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=udp6
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=udp6-remote
This is useful for testing, while we don't need to assign IPv4 address
(static or using DHCP) and can just use auto configured IPv6 addresses
(link local, which is based on the MAC address). Also add scope id
support for link local case.
For example,
./wpa_cli
./wpa_cli -i ::1,9877
./wpa_cli -i fe80::203:7fff:fe05:69%wlan0,9877

The request retry loop only retries for 5 seconds, so any time
jumps would probably not affect it much, but it should be using
monotonic time nonetheless since it only cares about duration.

Despite interface (and group) related sockets are not used
for control, they are created and may be left.

The wpa_supplicant global control interface parameter can now be used to
explicitly specify an abstract UNIX domain socket (Linux specific
extension) with "@abstract:" prefix and an Android control socket with
"@android:" prefix.

wpa_cli can be used now as a client for remote access to ctrl_interface
of wpa_supplicant when UDP and remote options are used.
You can simply run:
wpa_cli -i <hostname>:[port]
wpa_cli -i <IP>:[port]

This function can be used to clean up local UNIX domain socket files
that may be left over from clients that were previously connected to
wpa_supplicant. At least for now, this is only available for Android
builds.
Build options can now be used to replace the location of client
sockets for UNIX domain socket control interface:
CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_CLIENT_DIR=\"/tmp\"
CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_CLIENT_PREFIX=\"wpa_ctrl_\"
This patch adds support for wired IEEE 802.1X client on the Solaris.
I have tested with these:
OS : OpenSolaris 2009.06
EAP : EAP-MD5
Switch : Cisco Catalyst 2950
If the bind() on /tmp/wpa_ctrl_<pid>_<in-proc-counter> fails with
EADDRINUSE, there is an existing socket file with the name we are trying
to create. Since getpid() is unique, there cannot be another process
using that socket and we can just unlink the file and try again. This
can speed up client connection if wpa_cli is killed without allowing it
to clean up the socket file. [Bug 288]
