CVE-1999-0586

Summary

CVE-1999-0586 identifies a vulnerability where a network service is discovered running on a non-standard port. This deviation from the standard port assignment increases the risk of unauthorized access, as attackers can more easily locate and exploit the service. Malicious actors may use various tools to scan networks for such services and attempt to exploit them, potentially leading to data breaches or system compromise. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to configure services to run only on standard ports or use firewalls to restrict access to non-standard ports.
