"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-126151 advisory.

    A flaw was found in sudo. When sudoers rules use NOTBEFORE or NOTAFTER time-based access restrictions with
    timestamps that omit the trailing 'Z' timezone indicator, the time evaluation relies on the TZ environment
    variable inherited from the calling user. Because sudo is a setuid-root program, an unprivileged local
    user can set TZ to an extreme timezone offset to shift the authorization window by up to approximately 25
    hours, causing expired rules to be treated as valid. This allows the user to execute commands outside the
    intended time window. Authentication is not bypassed; only the time-based authorization check is affected.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity 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.");
