Title:
Should replace / conflict with "old" sudo
Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have just upgraded from 25.04 to 25.10 (well, technically beta, but
just before the release).
This upgrade procedure installed the new Rust sudo and made it the
default, but left the old sudo.ws there as well, with setuid bit.
As far as I know, the whole point of having a brand new version,
written in a much safer programming language, is to highly reduce the
risk of yet-undiscovered security holes (buffer overruns or whatnot)
being present in the system.
There's absolutely no way that having both versions installed at the
same time, both with root as owner and the setuid bit set, would serve
this goal.
