Summary
rust-sudo-rs vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that sudo-rs incorrectly handled passwords when timeouts occurred and the pwfeedback default was not set. This could result in a partially typed password being output to standard input, contrary to expectations.

It was discovered that sudo-rs incorrectly handled the targetpw and rootpw default settings when creating timestamp files. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication in certain configurations.
