Summary
hibagent update
Details

USN-6493-1 fixed a vulnerability in hibagent. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 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.
