There is a whole OS, good enough?


If you mean Redox, that is hardly a production OS (yet).

People don't have infinite time and only search for security issues in software that's actually in use.

Which is one of the reasons that C/C++ appear more often in CVEs.


The OP asked for an example of a large program like BIND, I gave him/her an OS, which naturally also contains something like BIND, but apparently we now move the goal posts for how much users it has.

I love how people hand have the fact that even projects like the Linux kernel, with their stringent processes aren't able to avoid CVEs, to the point it became the major focus of Linux Kernel Security Summit 2018.

Yet we all know that only newbies do major errors in C. /s


Depends on popularity and use.


The question was about an example for a large program like BIND.


Which one?
