Ubuntu 25.10 is set to replace the traditional sudo with sudo-rs, a Rust-based version that offers improved protection against memory vulnerabilities. This change will become the standard in Ubuntu 25.10, preserving the familiar interface while providing a higher level of security when working with root privileges.
The new sudo-rs is designed to reinforce privilege escalation, making it a more secure option for users. With its improved security features, sudo-rs aims to reduce the risk of memory-related vulnerabilities, providing a safer experience for users.
The shift to sudo-rs is part of Ubuntu's ongoing efforts to enhance security and provide a more robust user experience. By adopting this new version, Ubuntu aims to set a new standard for security in the Linux community.
