The default configuration for the domain name resolver for Microsoft Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP sets the QueryIpMatching parameter to 0, which causes Windows to accept DNS updates from hosts that it did not query, which allows remote attackers to poison the DNS cache.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy Microsoft Windows resolver defaults. A system may trust DNS information from a host it did not ask, allowing DNS cache poisoning. Business impact is misdirected traffic, phishing, or interception risk on systems still using the affected default behavior. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP systems using the default resolver configuration. The sources do not identify later Windows versions, appliances, or third-party resolvers as affected. Prioritize discovery over emergency response. This is an old legacy-platform risk with no cited active exploitation, but any remaining affected systems can create meaningful traffic-redirection exposure. Mitigation focus: Identify any Windows 98, NT 4.0, 2000, or XP systems still in use.; Check Microsoft and CERT guidance for resolver configuration recommendations.; Review the QueryIpMatching setting on affected legacy hosts..
