Aerospike vs Technitium DNS Server: at a glance
What is Aerospike?
Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.
Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.
What is Technitium DNS Server?
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.
Aerospike vs Technitium DNS Server: editorial side-by-side
Aerospike
0.0DEVOPS
Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.
◆ Current state
Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
msgpack parsing and collection data types keep producing memory-safety bugs across both the July and September releases. 8.0.0.19 does not appear in the feed, and no 8.1 or 7.x counterpart to 8.0.0.20 has shown up yet.
◆ Prediction
If the July pattern holds, matching 8.1 and 7.2 releases with the same three CVE fixes should follow.
Technitium DNS Server
5.0DEVOPS
Technitium adds LDAP sign-in to the DNS server that already gained SSO in v15.
◆ Current state
Technitium DNS Server has shipped eleven v15 releases since April, from v15.0 with OpenID Connect single sign-on to v15.6.2 on October 17. v15.5 in September added LDAP authentication and a zone file editor in the web console, and nearly every release since has carried fixes for reported security issues. Announcements are short and point to the CHANGELOG for detail.
◆ Where it's heading
The v15 line keeps extending admin identity, from OIDC to SSO scopes to LDAP, while patch releases arrive every one to two weeks with security fixes. That frequency of reported security issues is the thread to watch.
◆ Prediction
More v15.6.x service updates are likely; whether a v16 line follows is unclear from the feed.
