Summary

CVE-1999-0577 is a vulnerability affecting Windows NT systems. This issue arises due to the file audit policy not logging events for non-critical files or directories, making it difficult to track unauthorized access or modifications to these areas. Consequently, attackers may exploit this vulnerability to infiltrate systems without leaving a clear audit trail. This lack of logging can hinder effective incident response and forensic analysis, increasing the risk of data breaches. Organizations running Windows NT should consider implementing stronger audit policies to address this vulnerability.
