FAQ
Can this vulnerability by mitigated by enabling Secure Zone Updates? Enabling Secure Zone Updates constrains the potential sources of the attack, but does not completely prevent it.

Does this vulnerability impact just standalone DNS Primary Authoritative Server and not a DNS Server integrated with Active Directory? This vulnerability impacts any DNS server. The surrounding configuration can limit possible vectors/sources for the attack, but proper mitigation requires this month’s security update patch.
