Summary

CVE-1999-0576 refers to a vulnerability in Windows NT systems where the file audit policy fails to log events for critical files or directories. This lack of logging can make it difficult to detect unauthorized access or modifications to crucial system files. As a result, attackers may exploit this vulnerability to gain stealthy access, potentially leading to serious security consequences. Unfortunately, Windows NT's default audit policy does not include logging for these security-sensitive files, leaving systems vulnerable to potential threats.
