The link you cite says it was worse in the Rust version:

> During the audit, it came to light that the original sudo implementation was also affected by [CLN-001: relative path traversal vulnerability], although with a lower security severity due to their use of the openat function.

Thank you. I literally re-read it to try and find this, and missed it somehow. Guess I need to drink even more coffee.

Have you tried green tea? It contains a substance that offsets the sideeffects of caffeine a little.

Disclaimer: Zero Caffeine for me either way. Makes my ADD way worse. Theanine was nice though. Okay i lied, i allow myself dark chocolate sometimes.

I don't see how openat() would help.
