    2024-06-06: CVE-2024-31969 was added to this advisory.

    In sudo-1.8.23-10.amzn2.3.6 (Amazon Linux 2) and sudo-1.8.23-10.58.amzn1 (Amazon Linux 1), a user with an
    entry in the sudoers file, enabling them to run commands as another unprivileged user, can leverage it to
    run commands as root. No prior versions are affected. This issue has been fixed in
    sudo-1.8.23-10.amzn2.3.7 (AL2) and sudo-1.8.23-10.59.amzn1 (AL1). (CVE-2024-31969)

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

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