TLDR: >Current status for 26.04 LTS > >We shipped rust-coreutils as the default in Ubuntu 25.10 to maximise real-world testing ahead of the LTS. Based on the audit findings and remediation progress, here is where we stand for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. > > We have included the latest upstream release 0.8.0 in Ubuntu 26.04, which incorporates the bulk of the security fixes. > > cp, mv, and rm continue to be provided by GNU coreutils in 26.04. These utilities have remaining open TOCTOU (time-of-check to time-of-use) issues (8 as of Apr 22, 2026) that need to be resolved before we are confident shipping them. > > Our plan is to address the remaining issues as soon as possible and target Ubuntu 26.10 with 100% rust-coreutils.

The “reported upstream” link is broken (fixed link).
