Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-08-23 00:45:34 UTC 
CVE-2020-5774:

Nessus versions 8.11.0 and earlier were found to maintain sessions longer than the permitted period in certain scenarios. The lack of proper session expiration could allow attackers with local access to login into an existing browser session.

Maintainers, please bump to 8.11.1 and cleanup.
