Summary

CVE-1999-1358 is a vulnerability affecting Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems. When an administrator modifies a user policy, the update fails if the local ntconfig.pol file is not writable by the user.

The vulnerability could be exploited by changing the policy file to read-only, thereby evading the intended access controls.
