Summary

CVE-1999-0597 is a vulnerability affecting Windows NT servers. It arises from a weakness in the account policy, which fails to forcefully disconnect remote users once their allotted logon hours have elapsed. This shortcoming can enable unauthorized access to the system, leading to potential security breaches and unintended data exposure. Attackers could exploit this issue by logging into the server during expired logon hours, gaining prolonged access to the system beyond the intended timeframe. System administrators should promptly update their Windows NT servers to mitigate this risk.
