Jouni Malinen 200c7693c9 Make WEP functionality an optional build parameter
WEP should not be used for anything anymore. As a step towards removing
it completely, move all WEP related functionality to be within
CONFIG_WEP blocks. This will be included in builds only if CONFIG_WEP=y
is explicitly set in build configuration.

Alexander Wetzel 1a7963e36f AP: Allow PTK rekeying without Ext KeyID to be disabled as a workaround
Rekeying a pairwise key using only keyid 0 (PTK0 rekey) has many broken
implementations and should be avoided when using or interacting with
one. The effects can be triggered by either end of the connection and
range from hardly noticeable disconnects over long connection freezes up
to leaking clear text MPDUs.

To allow affected users to mitigate the issues, add a new hostapd
configuration option "wpa_deny_ptk0_rekey" to replace all PTK0 rekeys
with disconnection. This requires the station to reassociate to get
connected again and as such, can result in connectivity issues as well.

John Crispin 0cb39f4fd5 HE: Extend BSS color support
The HE Operation field for BSS color consists of a disabled, a partial,
and 6 color bits. The original commit adding support for BSS color
considered this to be a u8. This commit changes this to the actual
bits/values.

This adds an explicit config parameter for the partial bit. The disabled
is set to 0 implicitly if a bss_color is defined.

Interoperability testing showed that stations will require a BSS color
to be set even if the feature is disabled. Hence the default color is 1
when none is defined inside the config file.

Tomasz Jankowski fde8e79463 WPS: Make it possible to use PSKs loaded from the PSK file
By default, when configuration file set wpa_psk_file, hostapd generated
a random PSK for each Enrollee provisioned using WPS and appended that
PSK to wpa_psk_file.

Changes that behavior by adding a new step. WPS will first try to use a
PSK from wpa_psk_file. It will only try PSKs with wps=1 tag.
Additionally it'll try to match enrollee's MAC address (if provided). If
it fails to find an appropriate PSK, it falls back to generating a new
PSK.

Jouni Malinen 65a44e849a OWE: PTK derivation workaround in AP mode
Initial OWE implementation used SHA256 when deriving the PTK for all OWE
groups. This was supposed to change to SHA384 for group 20 and SHA512
for group 21. The new owe_ptk_workaround parameter can be used to enable
workaround for interoperability with stations that use SHA256 with
groups 20 and 21. By default, only the appropriate hash function is
accepted. When workaround is enabled (owe_ptk_workaround=1), the
appropriate hash function is tried first and if that fails, SHA256-based
PTK derivation is attempted. This workaround can result in reduced
security for groups 20 and 21, but is required for interoperability with
older implementations. There is no impact to group 19 behavior.

Jouni Malinen 0ed57c5ea8 EAP-TEAP server and peer implementation (RFC 7170)
This adds support for a new EAP method: EAP-TEAP (Tunnel Extensible

RFC 7170 has number of conflicting statements and missing details to
allow unambiguous interpretation. As such, there may be interoperability
issues with other implementations and this version should not be
deployed for production purposes until those unclear areas are resolved.

This does not yet support use of NewSessionTicket message to deliver a
new PAC (either in the server or peer implementation). In other words,
only the in-tunnel distribution of PAC-Opaque is supported for now. Use
of the NewSessionTicket mechanism would require TLS library support to
allow arbitrary data to be specified as the contents of the message.

Toke Høiland-Jørgensen ef7217518b hostapd: Add airtime policy configuration support
This adds support to hostapd for configuring airtime policy settings for
stations as they connect to the access point. This is the userspace
component of the airtime policy enforcement system PoliFi described in
this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.03439

The Linux kernel part has been merged into mac80211 for the 5.1 dev
cycle.

The configuration mechanism has three modes: Static, dynamic and limit.
In static mode, weights can be set in the configuration file for
individual MAC addresses, which will be applied when the configured
stations connect.

In dynamic mode, weights are instead set per BSS, which will be scaled
by the number of active stations on that BSS, achieving the desired
aggregate weighing between the configured BSSes. Limit mode works like
dynamic mode, except that any BSS *not* marked as 'limited' is allowed
to exceed its configured share if a per-station fairness share would
assign more airtime to that BSS. See the paper for details on these
modes.

Davina Lu 66819b07b5 hostapd: Support Multi-AP backhaul STA onboarding with WPS
The Wi-Fi Alliance Multi-AP Specification v1.0 allows onboarding of a
backhaul STA through WPS. To enable this, the WPS Registrar offers a
different set of credentials (backhaul credentials instead of fronthaul
credentials) when the Multi-AP subelement is present in the WFA vendor
extension element of the WSC M1 message.

Add new configuration options to specify the backhaul credentials for
the hostapd internal registrar: multi_ap_backhaul_ssid,
multi_ap_backhaul_wpa_psk, multi_ap_backhaul_wpa_passphrase. These are
only relevant for a fronthaul SSID, i.e., where multi_ap is set to 2 or
3. When these options are set, pass the backhaul credentials instead of
the normal credentials when the Multi-AP subelement is present.

Ignore the Multi-AP subelement if the backhaul config options are not
set. Note that for an SSID which is fronthaul and backhaul at the same
time (i.e., multi_ap == 3), this results in the correct credentials
being sent anyway.

The security to be used for the backaul BSS is fixed to WPA2PSK. The
Multi-AP Specification only allows Open and WPA2PSK networks to be
configured. Although not stated explicitly, the backhaul link is
intended to be always encrypted, hence WPA2PSK.

To build the credentials, the credential-building code is essentially
copied and simplified. Indeed, the backhaul credentials are always
WPA2PSK and never use per-device PSK. All the options set for the
fronthaul BSS WPS are simply ignored.

The purpose of Multi-AP specification is to enable inter-operability
across Wi-Fi access points (APs) from different vendors.

This patch introduces one new configuration parameter 'multi_ap' to

Advertise vendor specific Multi-AP capabilities in (Re)Association
Response frame, if Multi-AP functionality is enabled through the
configuration parameter.

A backhaul AP must support receiving both 3addr and 4addr frames from a
backhaul STA, so create a VLAN for it just like is done for WDS, i.e.,
by calling hostapd_set_wds_sta(). Since Multi-AP requires WPA2 (never
WEP), we can safely call hostapd_set_wds_encryption() as well and we can
reuse the entire WDS condition.

To parse the Multi-AP Extension subelement, we use get_ie(): even though
that function is meant for parsing IEs, it works for subelements.
