The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3181 advisory.

  • The sudoedit personality of Sudo before 1.9.5 may allow a local unprivileged user to perform arbitrary directory-existence tests by winning a sudo_edit.c race condition in replacing a user-controlled directory by a symlink to an arbitrary path. (CVE-2021-23239)

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