d2b2083843 SAE: Allow PMKID to be added into Association Request frame following SAE
IEEE Std 802.11-2016 does not require this behavior from a SAE STA, but
it is not disallowed either, so it is useful to have an option to
identify the derived PMKSA in the immediately following Association
Request frames. This is disabled by default (i.e., no change to previous
behavior) and can be enabled with a global wpa_supplicant configuration
parameter sae_pmkid_in_assoc=1.

339dc8bd6b WPS: Allow SAE configuration to be added automatically for PSK
The new wpa_supplicant configuration parameter wps_cred_add_sae=1 can be
used to request wpa_supplicant to add SAE configuration whenever WPS is
used to provision WPA2-PSK credentials and the credential includes a
passphrase (instead of PSK). This can be used to enable WPA3-Personal
transition mode with both SAE and PSK enabled and also with PMF enabled.

d514b50265 WNM: Collocated Interference Reporting
Add support for negotiating WNM Collocated Interference Reporting. This
allows hostapd to request associated STAs to report their collocated
interference information and wpa_supplicant to process such request and
reporting. The actual values (Collocated Interference Report Elements)
are out of scope of hostapd and wpa_supplicant, i.e., external
components are expected to generated and process these.

For hostapd/AP, this mechanism is enabled by setting
coloc_intf_reporting=1 in configuration. STAs are requested to perform
reporting with "COLOC_INTF_REQ <addr> <Automatic Report Enabled> <Report
Timeout>" control interface command. The received reports are indicated
as control interface events "COLOC-INTF-REPORT <addr> <dialog token>
<hexdump of report elements>".

For wpa_supplicant/STA, this mechanism is enabled by setting
coloc_intf_reporting=1 in configuration and setting Collocated
Interference Report Elements as a hexdump with "SET coloc_intf_elems
<hexdump>" control interface command. The hexdump can contain one or
more Collocated Interference Report Elements (each including the
information element header). For additional testing purposes, received
requests are reported with "COLOC-INTF-REQ <dialog token> <automatic
report enabled> <report timeout>" control interface events and
unsolicited reports can be sent with "COLOC_INTF_REPORT <hexdump>".

This commit adds support for reporting changes in the collocated
interference (Automatic Report Enabled == 1 and partial 3), but not for
periodic reports (2 and other part of 3).

c86bef2913 wpa_supplicant: Make GAS Address3 field selection behavior configurable
IEEE Std 802.11-2012, 10.19 (Public Action frame addressing) specifies
that the wildcard BSSID value is used in Public Action frames that are
transmitted to a STA that is not a member of the same BSS.
wpa_supplicant used to use the actual BSSID value for all such frames
regardless of whether the destination STA is a member of the BSS.

P2P does not follow this rule, so P2P Public Action frame construction
must not be changed. However, the cases using GAS/ANQP for non-P2P
purposes should follow the standard requirements.

Unfortunately, there are deployed AP implementations that do not reply
to a GAS request sent using the wildcard BSSID value. The previously
used behavior (Address3 = AP BSSID even when not associated) continues
to be the default, but the IEEE 802.11 standard compliant addressing
behavior can now be configured with gas_address3=1.

73ed03f333 wpa_supplicant: Add GTK RSC relaxation workaround
Some APs may send RSC octets in EAPOL-Key message 3 of 4-Way Handshake
or in EAPOL-Key message 1 of Group Key Handshake in the opposite byte
order (or by some other corrupted way). Thus, after a successful
EAPOL-Key exchange the TSC values of received multicast packets, such as
DHCP, don't match the RSC one and as a result these packets are dropped
on replay attack TSC verification. An example of such AP is Sapido
RB-1732.

Work around this by setting RSC octets to 0 on GTK installation if the
AP RSC value is identified as a potentially having the byte order issue.
This may open a short window during which older (but valid)
group-addressed frames could be replayed. However, the local receive
counter will be updated on the first received group-addressed frame and
the workaround is enabled only if the common invalid cases are detected,
so this workaround is acceptable as not decreasing security
significantly. The wpa_rsc_relaxation global configuration property
allows the GTK RSC workaround to be disabled if it's not needed.

1a471ff081 P2P: Move a GO from its operating frequency
Upon any change in the currently used channels evaluate if a GO should
move to a different operating frequency, where the possible scenarios:

1. The frequency that the GO is currently using is no longer valid,
   due to regulatory reasons, and thus the GO must be moved to some
   other frequency.
2. Due to Multi Concurrent Channel (MCC) policy considerations, it would
   be preferable, based on configuration settings, to prefer Same
   Channel Mode (SCM) over concurrent operation in multiple channels.
   The supported policies:

   - prefer SCM: prefer moving the GO to a frequency used by some other
     interface.
   - prefer SCM if Peer supports: prefer moving the GO to a frequency
     used by some other station interface iff the other station
     interface is using a frequency that is common between the local and
     the peer device (based on the GO Negotiation/Invitation signaling).
   - Stay on the current frequency.

Currently, the GO transition to another frequency is handled by a
complete tear down and re-setup of the GO. Still need to add CSA flow to
the considerations.

ecd40fef74 mesh: Fix mesh SAE auth on low spec devices
The mesh SAE auth often fails with master branch. By bisect I found
commit eb5fee0bf5 ('SAE: Add side-channel
protection to PWE derivation with ECC') causes this issue. This does not
mean the commit has a bug. This is just a CPU resource issue.

After the commit, sae_derive_pwe_ecc() spends 101(msec) on my PC (Intel
Atom N270 1.6GHz). But dot11RSNASAERetransPeriod is 40(msec). So
auth_sae_retransmit_timer() is always called and it can causes
continuous frame exchanges. Before the commit, it was 23(msec).

On the IEEE 802.11 spec, the default value of dot11RSNASAERetransPeriod
is defined as 40(msec). But it looks short because generally mesh
functionality will be used on low spec devices. Indeed Raspberry Pi B+
(ARM ARM1176JZF-S 700MHz) requires 287(msec) for new
sae_derive_pwe_ecc().

So this patch makes the default to 1000(msec) and makes it configurable.

This issue does not occur on infrastructure SAE because the
dot11RSNASAERetransPeriod is not used on it.

c267753ba2 Add support for using random local MAC address
This adds experimental support for wpa_supplicant to assign random local
MAC addresses for both pre-association cases (scan, GAS/ANQP) and for
connections. MAC address policy for each part can be controlled
separately and the connection part can be set per network block.

This requires support from the driver to allow local MAC address to be
changed if random address policy is enabled. It should also be noted
that number of drivers would not support concurrent operations (e.g.,
P2P and station association) with random addresses in use for one or
both.

This functionality can be controlled with the global configuration
parameters mac_addr and preassoc_mac_addr which set the default MAC
address policies for connections and pre-association operations (scan
and GAS/ANQP while not connected). The global rand_addr_lifetime
parameter can be used to set the lifetime of a random MAC address in
seconds (default: 60 seconds). This is used to avoid unnecessarily
frequent MAC address changes since those are likely to result in driver
clearing most of its state. It should be noted that the random MAC
address does not expire during an ESS connection, i.e., this lifetime is
only for the case where the device is disconnected.

The mac_addr parameter can also be set in the network blocks to define
different behavior per network. For example, the global mac_addr=1 and
preassoc_mac_addr=1 settings and mac_addr=0 in a home network profile
would result in behavior where all scanning is performed using a random
MAC address while connections to new networks (e.g.,
Interworking/Hotspot 2.0) would use random address and connections to
the home network would use the permanent MAC address.
