CVE-1999-0663 is a vulnerability that arises when a system-critical component, such as a program, library, or file, has an integrity measurement, like a checksum, that is no longer valid, indicating it has been tampered with. This issue can lead to unauthorized system access, data breaches, or even system crashes.
