The remote OracleVM system is missing necessary patches to address security updates:

  • Sudo before 1.9.5p2 contains an off-by-one error that can result in a heap-based buffer overflow, which allows privilege escalation to root via sudoedit -s and a command-line argument that ends with a single backslash character. (CVE-2021-3156)

  • A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way sudo parses command line arguments. This flaw is exploitable by any local user who can execute the sudo command without authentication. Successful exploitation of this flaw could lead to privilege escalation. (CVE-2021-3156)

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