The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'sudo' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2173 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. Please install the updated package(s)
