About this tag
The edns0 tag covers discussions about EDNS0 (Extension Mechanisms for DNS) and its role in DNS security, particularly in the context of Windows Server DNS cache poisoning mitigation. Recent content focuses on Microsoft's advisory ADV200013, which recommends setting the MaximumUdpPacketSize to 1221 bytes on Windows DNS servers to force large DNS responses over TCP instead of UDP. This configuration helps prevent spoofing and cache-poisoning attacks that exploit oversized UDP packets. The mitigation applies to Windows Server 2022, 2025, and other recent builds. Administrators are advised to implement this setting for immediate protection against DNS resolver vulnerabilities.
