Two security issues were discovered in sudo-rs, a Rust-based implemention
of sudo (and su), which could result in the local disclosure of partially
typed passwords or an authentication bypass in some targetpw/rootpw
configurations.
For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.2.5-5+deb13u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your rust-sudo-rs packages.

as far as i can see, it's just programming errors, nothing to do with rust.

Everything to do with reimplementing sudo, though.
But sudo has its share of CVEs as well (latest CVE-2025-32463), so perhaps a fresh look on the tool is warranted; perhaps some learnings have been taken from it.

I think if rust was used to replace other bits (say things like utilities like grep or whatever) instead of security vital things like sudo, there would be less complaints.
