The new DBus API helper function wpas_dbus_error_unknown_error
function can be called as a result of a failure within internal
getter calls, which will call this function with a NULL message
parameter. However, dbus_message_new_error looks very unkindly
(i.e, abort()) on a NULL message, so in this case, we should not
call it.
I've observed this course of events during a call to
wpas_dbus_getter_bss_wpa with a faileld parse of the IE parameter.
We got here through a call to fill_dict_with_properties which
explicitly calls getters with a NULL message parameter. Judging
from the way it is called, this could easily occur if an AP sends
out a malformed (or mis-received) probe response. I usually run
into this problem while driving through San Francisco, so I'm
exposed to any number of base stations along this path.
This patch changes wpa_supplicant policy for handling '' in SSIDs field of
Interface.SSID DBus message. It treats '' (zero-length) SSID as a request
for a broadcast scan, instead of ignoring it.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['']})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for specified channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with only non-'' SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
This Patch: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['',
'MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with SSIDs, including 1 '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for each
non-'' SSID on specified channel
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified
channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for
each non-'' SSID on specified channel
Currently the DBus Interface.Scan API is counter-intuitive. It issues
ProbeRequests when doing passive scans when channels are specified, and
does not issue ProbeRequests for broadcast active scans.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive'})
Request: Passive scan (all channels)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for all channels
Previous: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both broadcast SSID and
selected network (scan_ssid=1)
This Patch: --No change--: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both
broadcast SSID and selected network (scan_ssid=1)
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Passive scan (1 channel)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1 channel
(plus overlapping channels)
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: --Fixed--: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1
channel (plus overlapping channels)
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active'})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (all channels)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for all channels
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; Passive scan results for specified
channel (plus overlapping channels)
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This clears up authentication state in the driver and in case of
cfg80211, unlocks the BSS entry for the previously used AP. The
previous commit cf4783e35f changed
only the ctrl_iface DISCONNECT command behavior; this new commit
does the same for D-Bus commands.
Add "wpa-ft-psk", "wpa-psk-sha256", "wpa-ft-eap" and "wpa-eap-sha256"
possible KeyMgmt values of interface capabilities to fit values in
BSS RSN options dictionary.
Despite comments in the wpa_config_update_prio_list(struct wpa_config
*config) telling that it is called "if priority for a network is
changed", it is apparently not.

Expose RSN and WPA properties for BSS objects containing information
about key management and cipher suites. Get rid of WPA/RSN/WPSIE
byte array properties and add IEs byte array property with all IE data
instead.
Instead of using some magic integer values that really only mean
something to WPA internal code, just use simple strings. Possible
values are "msgdump", "debug", "info", "warning" and "error" which
map directly to WPA debugging support.
This fits better in wpa_supplicant/scan.c. Couple of remaining
scan_helpers.c functions are currently used in driver wrappers,
but they can likely be removed in the future.
The perror() calls do not make much sense with libdbus functions and
wpa_printf() would really be used for all error printing anyway. In
addition, many of the error messages on out-of-memory cases are not
really of much use, so they were removed. This is also cleaning up
some of the error path handling to avoid duplicated code.
These cannot be NULL, so there is no point in checking for that. In
addition, the accessor function for this is just making the code harder
to understand.
In addition, remove Quality and Noise properties since the BSS table
is not the correct place for fetching per-channel information (Noise)
and Quality is not well-defined (nor available from many drivers).
Replace the scan results -based implementation with the use of information
from the new BSS table maintained by wpa_supplicant to get a more stable
source of BSS data. Change the use of BSSID as the key for the BSS object
to use the BSS table unique identifier so that multi-SSID APs can be
handled properly.
Must initialize key to be NULL since it can be used in an error
message. If the Scan method did not actually include any dict entries,
the uninitialized pointer was used and this could result in
wpa_supplicant crashing.
Removed the hack that used typecast to get rid of const by using local
variables that are allocated and freed. Fix couple of memory leaks
and check that the required Ifname parameter is included.
The D-Bus interface does not really have anything to do with the
wpa_supplicant ctrl_iface interface and as such, this prefix in
dbus files is both confusing and unnecessarily. Make the file names
shorter by removing this prefix.
