Shameless plug time:

My own MaraDNS has been extensively audited now that we’re in the age of AI-assisted security audits.

Not one single serious security bug has been found since 2023. [1]

The only bugs auditers have been finding are things like “Deadwood, when fully recursive, will take longer than usual to release resources when getting this unusual packet” [2] or “This side utility included with MaraDNS, which hasn’t been able to be compiled since 2022, has a buffer overflow, but only if one’s $HOME is over 50 characters in length” [3]

I’m actually really pleased just how secure MaraDNS is now that it’s getting real in depth security audits.
