"The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5321
advisory.
- In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-
provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append
arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected
versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a
-- argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value.
(CVE-2023-22809)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
