✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Append the 'Z' timezone suffix to all NOTBEFORE and NOTAFTER timestamps in sudoers rules. For example, change 'NOTAFTER=20261231235959' to 'NOTAFTER=20261231235959Z'. Timestamps with the 'Z' suffix are interpreted as UTC via timegm() and are not affected by the TZ environment variable. Administrators can audit their sudoers configuration with: grep -rE 'NOT(BEFORE|AFTER)=' /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers.d/ and verify that all timestamps end with 'Z'.
