Dear Jouni, Thanks a lot for this new version "2.11 (2024-07-20)" of hostap/wpa_supplicant which arrives several years after the 2.10 (2022-01-16) with CVE fixes. A lot of people have requested it since a long time like me. We hope more releases now and minor releases at each CVE, security is very important.

There has been quite a few new features and fixes since the 2.10 release. The following ChangeLog entries highlight some of the main changes: hostapd: * Wi-Fi Easy Connect - add support for DPP release 3 - allow Configurator parameters to be provided during config exchange * HE/IEEE 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 - various fixes * EHT/IEEE 802.11be/Wi-Fi 7 - add preliminary support * SAE: add support for fetching the password from a RADIUS server * support OpenSSL 3.0 API changes * support background radar detection and CAC with some additional drivers * support RADIUS ACL/PSK check during 4-way handshake (wpa_psk_radius=3) * EAP-SIM/AKA: support IMSI privacy * improve 4-way handshake operations - use Secure=1 in message 3 during PTK rekeying * OCV: do not check Frequency Segment 1 Channel Number for 160 MHz cases to avoid interoperability issues * support new SAE AKM suites with variable length keys * support new AKM for 802.1X/EAP with SHA384 * extend PASN support for secure ranging * FT: Use SHA256 to derive PMKID for AKM 00-0F-AC:3 (FT-EAP) - this is based on additional details being added in the IEEE 802.11 standard - the new implementation is not backwards compatible * improved ACS to cover additional channel types/bandwidths * extended Multiple BSSID support * fix beacon protection with FT protocol (incorrect BIGTK was provided) * support unsynchronized service discovery (USD) * add preliminary support for RADIUS/TLS * add support for explicit SSID protection in 4-way handshake (a mitigation for CVE-2023-52424; disabled by default for now, can be enabled with ssid_protection=1) * fix SAE H2E rejected groups validation to avoid downgrade attacks * use stricter validation for some RADIUS messages * a large number of other fixes, cleanup, and extensions wpa_supplicant: * Wi-Fi Easy Connect - add support for DPP release 3 - allow Configurator parameters to be provided during config exchange * MACsec - add support for GCM-AES-256 cipher suite - remove incorrect EAP Session-Id length constraint - add hardware offload support for additional drivers * HE/IEEE 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 - support BSS color updates - various fixes * EHT/IEEE 802.11be/Wi-Fi 7 - add preliminary support * support OpenSSL 3.0 API changes * improve EAP-TLS support for TLSv1.3 * EAP-SIM/AKA: support IMSI privacy * improve mitigation against DoS attacks when PMF is used * improve 4-way handshake operations - discard unencrypted EAPOL frames in additional cases - use Secure=1 in message 2 during PTK rekeying * OCV: do not check Frequency Segment 1 Channel Number for 160 MHz cases to avoid interoperability issues * support new SAE AKM suites with variable length keys * support new AKM for 802.1X/EAP with SHA384 * improve cross-AKM roaming with driver-based SME/BSS selection * PASN - extend support for secure ranging - allow PASN implementation to be used with external programs for Wi-Fi Aware * FT: Use SHA256 to derive PMKID for AKM 00-0F-AC:3 (FT-EAP) - this is based on additional details being added in the IEEE 802.11 standard - the new implementation is not backwards compatible, but PMKSA caching with FT-EAP was, and still is, disabled by default * support a pregenerated MAC (mac_addr=3) as an alternative mechanism for using per-network random MAC addresses * EAP-PEAP: require Phase 2 authentication by default (phase2_auth=1) to improve security for still unfortunately common invalid configurations that do not set ca_cert * extend SCS support for QoS Characteristics * extend MSCS support * support unsynchronized service discovery (USD) * add support for explicit SSID protection in 4-way handshake (a mitigation for CVE-2023-52424; disabled by default for now, can be enabled with ssid_protection=1) - in addition, verify SSID after key setup when beacon protection is used * fix SAE H2E rejected groups validation to avoid downgrade attacks * a large number of other fixes, cleanup, and extensions git-shortlog for 2.10 -> 2.11: There were 2295 commits, so the list would be a too long for this email.
