Title:
  New upstream version 2.4 / please merge with Debian 8's wpa 2.3

Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are new wpa_supplicant versions 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 which bring a
  horde of improvements to eg WiFi Direct (P2P) and others:
  http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog

  The 2.3 is already part of the stable Debian 8.0 release so it would
  be useful to sync with at least that for 15.10 (and 16.04 LTS).

  --- Debian stable changelog ---
   wpa (2.3-1+deb8u1) jessie-security; urgency=high
   .
     * import "P2P: Validate SSID element length before copying it
       (CVE-2015-1863)" from upstream (Closes: #783148).

   wpa (2.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
   .
     * New upstream release:
       - fixed by the new upstream version:
         + wpa: arbitrary command execution via action scripts (Closes: #765352).
           wpasupplicant: fixed wpa_cli action script execution to use more
           robust mechanism (CVE-2014-3686).
           hostapd: fixed hostapd_cli action script execution to use more robust
           mechanism (CVE-2014-3686).
         + wpasupplicant: MAC addressing changing broken after updating to 2.2-1
           (Closes: #763775).
         + drop ap_config_c_fix-typo-for-capabilities, applied upstream.
       - backport "Include ieee802_11_common.c in wpa_supplicant build
         unconditionally" from HEAD, to fix a newly introduced FTBS on, at least,
         kfreebsd.
     * bump standards version to 3.9.6, no changes necessary.

  wpa (2.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium
   .
     * New upstream release:
       - import suggested changes from Gerald Turner <gturner@xxxxxxxxxx> (see
         #718651 for details).
         + disable ACS for hostapd on kfreebsd-any (FTBS).
       - fixed by the new upstream version:
         + wpa_supplicant: OpenSSL: tls_connection_handshake - Failed to read
         (Closes: #561081).
         + wpasupplicant: new upstream release 2.2 (Closes: #718651).
         + wpasupplicant: -s option not documented in man page (Closes: #608135).
       - refresh patches:
         + drop 13_human_readable_signal.patch, applied upstream.
         + drop hostapd_fix-WDS-VLAN-bridge-handling.patch, applied upstream.
         + drop fix-spelling-s-algorith-algorithm.patch, applied upstream.
       - adapt build configs for hostapd/ wpa_supplicant 2.2:
         + sync with updated upstream defconfigs.
         + keep Hotspot 2.0 support disabled for the time being.
         + hostapd: keep sqlite3 support disabled for the time being.
       - update debian/copyright manually, the wpa v2 branch was relicensed from
         (BSD-3-clause || GPL-2) to BSD-3-clause only (for the most part). This
         doesn't change the licensing state as the BSD-3-clause license is
         compatible with GPL-2.
     * drop pre-wheezy /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/ migration support, invert the
       versioned initscripts dependency to a versioned breaks relation.
     * migrate from /var/run/ to /run/.
     * adapt get-orig-source for wpa 2.2.
     * drop version qualifiers for libnl3 build dependencies, as they're
       fullfilled by wheezy.
     * drop version qualifiers for the lsb-base build dependency, as they're
       fullfilled by squeeze.
     * shorten short description for hostapd.
     * sort debian/control entries.
     * make lintian happy (invalid-short-name-in-dep5-copyright bsd) and call it
       BSD-3-clause.
     * enable DEBUG_SYSLOG and set DEBUG_SYSLOG_FACILITY=LOG_DAEMON, as requested
       by Cyril Brulebois <kibi@xxxxxxxxxx> to improve logging options for d-i and
       netcfg (Closes: #761922).
     * fix various typos around "existence", thanks to A. Costa <agcosta@xxxxxxx>,
       (Closes: #683636).
     * ap_config.c: fix typo for "capabilities".
     * remove no longer required lintian override (spelling-error-in-binary for
       the).
