Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 : hibagent update (USN-6493-1)

info Nessus Plugin ID 186037

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6493-1 advisory.

 On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the hibagent package has been updated to add IMDSv2 support, as IMDSv1 uses an insecure protocol and is no longer recommended.

 In addition, on all releases, hibagent has been updated to do nothing if ODH is configured.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected hibagent package.
