      That is… A big claim. Yeah, rust minimizes or removes some categories of vulnerabilities. This is true. BUT sudo has been well tested over decades.

        I’ll be the first to admit to not paying much attention to Linux vulnerabilities, but I agree, I feel like a vulnerability in a package like sudo would have been huge news.

          cve-2021-3156 heap overflow in sudo. roughly 10 years long in sudo. Allowed privilege escalation. It was huge.
