The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has sudo packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A certain Fedora patch for parse.c in sudo before 1.7.4p5-1.fc14 on Fedora 14 does not properly interpret     a system group (aka %group) in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who belongs to     that group, which allows local users to leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges via a     sudo command. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2009-0034 regression. (CVE-2011-0008)

  - check.c in sudo 1.7.x before 1.7.4p5, when a Runas group is configured, does not require a password for     command execution that involves a gid change but no uid change, which allows local users to bypass an     intended authentication requirement via the -g option to a sudo command. (CVE-2011-0010)

  - Format string vulnerability in the sudo_debug function in Sudo 1.8.0 through 1.8.3p1 allows local users to     execute arbitrary code via format string sequences in the program name for sudo. (CVE-2012-0809)

  - sudo 1.6.x and 1.7.x before 1.7.9p1, and 1.8.x before 1.8.4p5, does not properly support configurations     that use a netmask syntax, which allows local users to bypass intended command restrictions in     opportunistic circumstances by executing a command on a host that has an IPv4 address. (CVE-2012-2337)

  - sudo 1.6.0 through 1.7.10p6 and sudo 1.8.0 through 1.8.6p6 allows local users or physically proximate     attackers to bypass intended time restrictions and retain privileges without re-authenticating by setting     the system clock and sudo user timestamp to the epoch. (CVE-2013-1775)

  - sudo 1.3.5 through 1.7.10 and 1.8.0 through 1.8.5, when the tty_tickets option is enabled, does not     properly validate the controlling terminal device, which allows local users with sudo permissions to     hijack the authorization of another terminal via vectors related to connecting to the standard input,     output, and error file descriptors of another terminal. NOTE: this is one of three closely-related     vulnerabilities that were originally assigned CVE-2013-1776, but they have been SPLIT because of different     affected versions. (CVE-2013-1776)

  - 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
