For example, if a passphrase +contains a `#` character it must be quoted to prevent parsing the +remaining characters as an inline comment, but the code handling the +external password in `wpa_supplicant_get_psk` does not handle quotes. +The result is that either it will hash the enclosing quotes, producing a +wrong PSK, or if the passphrase is long enough, fail the length check. +As a consequence, some passphrases are impossible to input correctly. + +To solve this and other issues, this patch changes the behaviour of the +`ext_password_file_get` function (which was not documented in details, +at least w.r.t. special characters) to simply treat all characters +literally: including trailing whitespaces (except CR and LF), `#` for +inline comments, etc. Empty lines and full-line comments are still +supported. + +Signed-off-by: Michele Guerini Rocco +--- + src/utils/ext_password_file.c | 12 ++++++++++-- + 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/src/utils/ext_password_file.c b/src/utils/ext_password_file.c +index 4bb0095f3..f631ff15c 100644 +--- a/src/utils/ext_password_file.c ++++ b/src/utils/ext_password_file.c +@@ -9,7 +9,6 @@ + #include "includes.h" + + #include "utils/common.h" +-#include "utils/config.h" + #include "ext_password_i.h" + + +@@ -97,7 +96,16 @@ static struct wpabuf * ext_password_file_get(void *ctx, const char *name) + + wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, "EXT PW FILE: get(%s)", name); + +- while (wpa_config_get_line(buf, sizeof(buf), f, &line, &pos)) { ++ while ((pos = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), f))) { ++ line++; ++ ++ /* Strip newline characters */ ++ pos[strcspn(pos, "\r\n")] = 0; ++ ++ /* Skip comments and empty lines */ ++ if (*pos == '#' || *pos == '\0') ++ continue; ++ + char *sep = os_strchr(pos, '='); + + if (!sep) { +-- +2.44.1 +
