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.

Well said. I personally enjoy using a systems-level language with a handful of functional programming features. I also enjoy the support for async runtimes and other concurrency features (channels).

Rust allows me to get away from more boring (to me) languages (e.g. JS/TS, Java, Kotlin).
