Got this from a friend of mine, I can’t verify. Any comments?
So this is an interesting one: Updated info yesterday from Microsoft regarding a DNS protocol (?) vulnerability in dns resolvers - with no CVE reference. First released on Dec 8,2020, last updated Aug 28 2025. No CVE. No PoC or known exploitation. A dns cache poisoning caused by IP fragmentation (!), and the suggested (temporary?) workaround is to reduce the Maximum UDP packet size to 1221 bytes, so that larger requests will switch to TCP.
I've seen some weird issues & workarounds throughout my years. This is absolutely one of those cases!
