Canonical will make sudo-rs, a Rust-based rewrite of sudo, the default in Ubuntu 25.10 to reduce memory-related vulnerabilities and harden core system components. The piece highlights industry momentum toward memory-safe languages (backed by CISA and initiatives like ISRG’s Prossimo with AWS support), notes related Rust utilities and the oxidizr project for swapping legacy tools, and cites past sudo flaws such as CVE-2021-3156 as justification for the change.
