I was reading some discussion on the sudo-rs now showing asterisks.

I don't hate that it does. I don't find that the rational to keep the typing hidden is really that strong. It reads like making a case for security by obscurity. Something which we all in the #foss world would already agree is a flaw.

Most traditions outlive their usefulness and assumptions that made them. Maybe this says we need more than just long passwords in systems that use sudo.

in light of the recent sudo-rs vulnerabilities, what are your opinions about the adoption of sudo-rs in ubuntu?

boosts appreciated

#sudo #sudors #ubuntu #rust

it might be a rocky start but it's a necessary evil to enable wider adoption of sudo-rs
31.3%
someone had to take the first leap but ubuntu wasn't the right platform for that
16.7%
the project is way too immature for any kind of adoption just yet
10.4%
sudo doesn't need to be replaced by a rewrite in the first place

sudo-rs Affected By Multiple Security Vulnerabilities - Impacting Ubuntu 25.10

The Ubuntu 25.10 transition to using some Rust system utilities continues proving quite rocky

FYI: The sudo-rs bug of leaking passwords on timeout is a general problem of line buffered stdin streams.

The `read` builtin suffers from the same problem.

Good work and nice, but were issues fixed and complexities made simpler.

Personality I think they should have made doas the default :) And if they wanted to, once people get use to it, convert it to rust.

sudo-rs Is Now The Default sudo Of Ubuntu 25.10

Earlier this year Canonical announced plans for using sudo-rs as the Rust-written sudo implementation by default for Ubuntu 25.10 along with Rust Coreutils and other Rust system components

@tuxedocomputers why not replace #sudo with #sudors (sudo-rs).
esaJul 2, 2025

engang for hundre år siden, da jeg først begynte med #Linux, så var liksom ikke #sudo en greie. Og så ble det det, og en del av oss himlet litt med øynene av "sudo su" og sånt, men så ble det etter hvert ganske vanlig.

Men mellom det @pid_eins har skravlet om rundt #run0, og @trifectatech sin #sudors, så er det kanskje på tide å gå tilbake til å ikke ha vanilla sudo på maskina igjen?
