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.

Weren't you the dude posting completely irrelevant articles? As I said before, no one reasonable thinks Rust programs won't have bugs. Rust helps prevent a specific class of vulnerabilities. The rest is, as per usual, up to the programmer to avoid.

EDIT: I browsed your comments to verify. You were indeed the person posting the irrelevant articles about malware written in Rust being used to exploit other programs and using it to claim that software written in Rust was vulnerable.
