In case anyone wonders: these are the same bugs reported (and fixed) last week, not new ones.

Damn, a cvss score of 9.3 is wild

So ‘sudo-rs’ guys were right?

The vulnerability in question would've still happened if written in rust, it was not a memory leak.
More an instance of feature creep, as the solution was to remove the functionality.

Would something like 'doas' have the same issue?

[-] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 weeks ago

I don't believe so and it has been suggested as an alternative.

I would rather go with a completely new approach like the one of run0.
