Two minor vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 25.10's new sudo-rs were disclosed and promptly fixed, with limited practical exploitability.
Version 0.2 appeared on September 6. As Linux benchmarking site Phoronix reports, the big gains are in performance. Until recently, the new Rusty tools were about ten times slower than the traditional GNU versions implemented in C, but as of this release, they have leapfrogged the older versions and are now 50 percent faster. This probably won't make much visible difference to most people in daily use, but safer and faster sounds like a good combination.
