"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
ALINUX3-SA-2023:0108 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-26604:
    systemd before 247 does not adequately block local privilege escalation for some Sudo configurations,
    e.g., plausible sudoers files in which the systemctl status command may be executed. Specifically,
    systemd does not set LESSSECURE to 1, and thus other programs may be launched from the less program. This
    presents a substantial security risk when running systemctl from Sudo, because less executes as root when
    the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

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