Thanks. Would I be correct in assuming that there should be less of a burden on me as an end user with Rust though as I only need to update the one binary that I installed?

How did you install the binary? If you installed it from source, you'll need to `cargo update && cargo build`. If you downloaded a binary or installed it from your distro's repo, generally you just need to update that one binary, yes.

  Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I'd typically install a Rust program from the distro's repos.

Usually you would only need to update a single binary, as the dependencies are compiled in. You may get some libc-issues if you try to run a binary built for a newer Linux on an older Linux, unless it is built to target musl - don’t remember the details 100%
