CVE-1999-0579

Summary

CVE-1999-0579 refers to a vulnerability in Windows NT's registry audit policy. This issue causes the system to not log events for non-critical registry key modifications, making it difficult to detect unauthorized access or modifications to these keys. This lack of logging can lead to potential security risks, as administrators may be unaware of unauthorized changes to the system. The vulnerability affects Windows NT and may allow attackers to bypass security measures and make undetected modifications to the registry. The absence of logging for non-critical registry keys makes it challenging to maintain an accurate record of system activity and maintain security.
