| schestowitz[TR3] | I like "Sit, Ubu, Sit. Good dog!" is the iconic closing tag from 1980s television production company Ubu Productions, founded by Gary David Goldberg. Often heard after shows like Family Ties and Brooklyn Bridge, it features a photo of Goldberg's Labrador, Ubu Roi, in Paris. Many viewers misheard the line as "sit boo-boo sit," despite the screen displaying "UBU". | Apr 24 08:22 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | "Ubuntu 26.04 (Long Term Support) is shipping tomorrow… and Canonical has published an update on their quest to replace GNU CoreUtils with Rust-based re-writes. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Highlights: | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - After developers raised “some serious concerns”, Canonical hired an external security research firm to evaluate the Rust re-writes (known as “uutils”). | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - That security firm quickly found 113 significant issues, with a large portion of them being severe security issues warranting a CVE. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - Only some of those issues in the Rust re-writes have been fixed for the Ubuntu 26.04 release. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - Repeat: Ubuntu 26.04 is shipping with significant known issues in the new Rust coreutils. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - Some of the most critical Rust-Re-Written commands (cp, mv, and rm) were found to contain a large number of significant “Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use” issues, the kind of issues which create race condition vulnerabilities. The kind often exploited by hackers. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - As such, cp, mv, and rm will not be shipping in Ubuntu 26.04. Even with their clear “it’s fine if Ubuntu 26.04’s rust re-writes contain significant bugs” policy… the issues with cp, mv, and rm were simply TOO severe. | Apr 24 09:04 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | - Despite this undeniably disastrous rollout of the Rust-based rewrites of Coreutils, the Ubuntu team plans to ship the next release, in 6 months (26.10), with 100% of the GNU Coreutils replaced with the (currently comically broken) Rust re-writes." | Apr 24 09:04 |
