NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rust-sudo-rs package and not the rust-sudo-rs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

sudo-rs is a memory safe implementation of sudo and su written in Rust. Prior to version 0.2.6, users with no (or very limited) sudo privileges can determine whether files exists in folders that they otherwise cannot access using sudo --list <pathname>. Users with local access to a machine can discover the existence/non-existence of certain files, revealing potentially sensitive information in the file names. This information can also be used in conjunction with other attacks. Version 0.2.6 fixes the vulnerability.
