Hi,
can anyone tell me if the 'rebased-v2.6...'-patches for 'hostapd 2.6' are still needed in 'hostapd 2.7'?
I made a quick testrun and most of them answer with "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!"
As I see it, 'hostapd-2.6-noscan.patch' should probably stay, line numbers would have to be adjusted.
The same applies to 'hostapd-2.3_increase_EAPOL-timeouts.patch'.
Any hints?
Best, Matthias

No, those are not required any more because those vulnerabilities should be fixed in the 2.7 release.

Indeed.

Please keep those patches. It is fine that the lines might have moved. That is why we have patch which takes care of this. There is no need to touch them if they still apply.

Any hints?

Thanks for the confirmation - I had suspected this.

Yep - that was what I thought, too. I built two new patches - the line numbers were a bit too far away in my opinion.
Both applied.

Hi,
Since both - 'hostapd' AND 'wpa_supplicant' - needed an update, I sent in a patch series. Please see below "Patch 1/2 hostapd..." and "Patch 2/2 wpa_supplicant...").
Obsolete patches were deleted. I kept the two important ones.
I hope its correct this way.
Both applied here.
Best, Matthias

This patch is needed for disabling the neighborhood scan to force HT40 modes.
The same applies to 'hostapd-2.3_increase_EAPOL-timeouts.patch'.
This is needed for some buggy android clients that neet too long to wakeup so it should also stay.
The others should be rebased from the hostapd/wpa_supplicant tree and included in the new version. Please update also wpa_supplicant if hostapd is updated, they should have matching versions.

Ok - I kept this and the other patch below.

Oh, I see. Adjusted. Applied.

I noticed that => BTDT already. ;-)
I'll sent patches for both so you can take a look. Both - 'hostapd 2.7' and 'wpa_supplicant 2.7' - were built tonight without errors.
Best, Matthias
