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.

i do use arch

is April 2024 software that old?

replacement of core system utilities that aren't ready for prime time

Could we talk about Unity? I'd wager that these bugs wouldn't have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn't adopted sudo-rs. And I'd say "look at where Unity is right now" if they hadn't switched to GNOME Shell.

Yeah, fair. And 25.10 is a short-term release anyway. The point of it is to get a running start on 26.04.
