Announcing rustup 1.29.2

The rustup team is happy to announce the release of rustup version 1.29.2.

Rustup is the recommended tool to install Rust, a programming language that empowers everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

What's new in rustup 1.29.2

This is a small release which only updates the rustls-webpki and webpki-root-certs dependencies to address the problematic eMudhra intermediate certificates issue described in CVE-2026-111943.

See also RUSTSEC-2026-0382.

Further details are available in the changelog!

How to update

If you have a previous version of rustup installed, getting the new one is as easy as stopping any programs which may be using rustup (e.g. closing your IDE) and running:

$ rustup self update

Rustup will also automatically update itself at the end of a normal toolchain update:

$ rustup update

If you don't have it already, you can get rustup from the appropriate page on our website.

Rustup's documentation is also available in the rustup book.

Caveats

Rustup releases can come with problems not caused by rustup itself but just due to having a new release.

In particular, anti-malware scanners might block rustup or stop it from creating or copying files, especially when installing rust-docs which contains many small files.

Issues like this should be automatically resolved in a few weeks when the anti-malware scanners are updated to be aware of the new rustup release.

Thanks

Thanks again to all the contributors who made this rustup release possible!
