Ubuntu to Adopt a Rust-Based Version of "sudo"
ubuntusecurity
Ubuntu is set to adopt a version of "sudo" rewritten in Rust. This decision aims to enhance the security and performance of the tool, which is currently written in C. The rewrite in Rust, a programming language known for its strict memory management, should reduce vulnerabilities related to memory handling errors. This initiative is part of Ubuntu's ongoing efforts to strengthen the security of its operating system.
