Block external access at the network boundary, unless external parties require service.
If applicable configure border routers and firewalls to drop malformed packets before they reach internal hosts.
Deploy network intrusion detection systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity.
Deploy a network intrusion detection sensor on the affected network. Flag on all suspicious and malformed packets that do not abide by a protocol RFC. Audit logs regularly for indications of possible attacks.
Microsoft has released an advisory and updates to address this issue for supported platforms. Microsoft has released revised fixes to address this and other issues. Microsoft recommends installing the revised fixes even if the previous versions have been installed.
