sudo-rs Affected By Multiple Security Vulnerabilities - Impacting Ubuntu 25.10 (www.phoronix.com)

The Ubuntu 25.10 transition to using some Rust system utilities continues proving quite rocky. Beyond some early performance issues with Rust Coreutils, breakage for some executables, and broken unattended upgrades due to a Rust Coreutils bug, it's also sudo-rs now causing Ubuntu developers some headaches. There are two moderate security issues affecting sudo-rs, the Rust version of sudo being used by Ubuntu 25.10.

To me this says more about Canonical than Rust.

Canonical didn't make these tools...

They do have a habit of overcommitting to tools that are not yet ready.

Hell, snap still isn’t ready

No it certainly is not.

They did choose to adapt them at version <1.0.0

Could be a brave decision that will lead to these tools getting good a lot faster. Many such decisions seem a bit stupid if you only look at the short term.
