CVE-1999-0570

Summary

CVE-1999-0570 is a vulnerability affecting Windows NT operating systems. The issue stems from the lack of implementation of a password filter utility, such as PASSFILT.DLL, in the system. This omission allows for weak or easily guessable passwords to be used, increasing the risk of unauthorized access. Without this utility, Windows NT cannot effectively enforce password complexity or length requirements. This vulnerability poses a significant security risk, particularly in enterprise environments, where strong password policies are crucial.
