WPA2, the security mechanism used to access Wi-Fi networks and cypher Wi-Fi radio traffic, is affected by a serious bug that is called KRACK (Key Reinstallation AttaCKs, https://www.krackattacks.com/). Debian has already released a patch for that, so it should be sufficient to rebuild a fixed version of the package wpasupplicant for vivid. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wpa.git/patch/?id=5e1d735e15aef8dc762761c5e938dec9db209bdd. Just apply this on the ubuntu vivid version of the wpa source package and rebuild. Should be fixed then, as long as the android part doesn't has to do something with this.
Apply the patch from Debian and send the security update to all devices in all channels ASAP.
This should be very high priority IMO.
