The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2021:1723 advisory.

The sudo packages contain the sudo utility which allows system administrators to provide certain users     with the permission to execute privileged commands, which are used for system management purposes, without     having to log in as root.

Security Fix(es):

* sudo: symbolic link attack in SELinux-enabled sudoedit (CVE-2021-23240)

* sudo: possible directory existence test due to race condition in sudoedit (CVE-2021-23239)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Release Notes     linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
