What is CVE-1999-0680?

The vulnerability in Windows NT Terminal Server allows an attacker to exploit the system by initiating extra processes upon establishing a new connection. This occurs before the client is authenticated, leading to potential disruption of service, making the system unresponsive to legitimate users. Mitigating this can prevent service interruptions and ensure uninterrupted access for authorized clients.
