The sudo-rs project improves on the security of the original sudo by:

  • Using a memory safe language (Rust), as it's estimated that one out of three security bugs in the original sudo have been memory management issues
  • Leaving out less commonly used features so as to reduce attack surface
  • Developing an extensive test suite which even managed to find bugs in the original sudo
