Multiple, serious security vulnerabilities found in the Rust clone of Sudo — which shipped with Ubuntu 25.10 (the most recent release).
Not little vulnerabilities: We’re talking about the disclosure of passwords and total bypassing of authentication.
In fact, we’re getting new reports of showstopper grade issues every few days on the Rust-based clones (like sudo, du, date, and others) which were forced to ship in Ubuntu before they were fully tested.
Which is, of course, *exactly* what was predicted.
But, never fear! At least these Rust clones are memory safe!
PHEW!
