 Package : rust-sudo-rs CVE ID : not yet available

 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.
