Thanks to funding from NLNet and ISRG,
the sudo-rs team was able to request an audit from Radically Open Security (ROS).
In this post, we'll share the findings of the audit and our response to those findings.
ROS performed crystal-box penetration...
Should have told the auditors that stripping symbols is stupid and counterproductive instead of playing along. That segfault a user managed to hit once and only once with their self-built binary, and that useless core file that was left behind, shall hunt you in your dreams forever.
And I love how that commit was merged with the comment “A further reduced binary size! 🎉”. Exhibit number #5464565465767 why caring that much about “dependency bloat” and binary sizes always was, and always will be, a result of collective mania in action.

That’s the dumbest reasoning ever.
Especially because some already reverse engineered everything..
