655d213f-bed4-43aa-9bbf-f4bf77a2defd

Configuring the system to disable IP source routing protects against spoofing.

Remediation

To fix this, configure the policy value for
Computer Configuration
|_ Administrative Templates
|_ MSS (Legacy)
|_ "MSS: (DisableIPSourceRouting) IP source routing protection level (protects against packet spoofing)" to Ënabled"and to "Highest protection, source routing is completely disabled".

This policy setting requires the installation of the MSS-Legacy custom template. "MSS-Legacy.admx" and " MSS-Legacy.adml" must be copied to the \Windows\PolicyDefinitions and \Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US directories respectively.
