There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:14.04 wpa.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wpa package and not the wpa package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

hostapd before 2.6, in EAP mode, makes calls to the rand() and random() standard library functions without any preceding srand() or srandom() call, which results in inappropriate use of deterministic values. This was fixed in conjunction with CVE-2016-10743.
