Summary

CVE-1999-0577 is a vulnerability affecting Windows NT systems. It was discovered that the file audit policy does not log events for non-critical files or directories, making it difficult to detect unauthorized access or modifications to these files. This lack of logging can potentially leave the system vulnerable to various forms of attacks, including data theft or system compromise. The significance of this issue lies in the potential for stealthy attacks that can go undetected, as the absence of auditing events can hinder security teams from effectively monitoring and responding to potential threats.
