What is CVE-2000-0979?

The File and Print Sharing service in Microsoft Windows 95, 98, and Me is susceptible to an authentication bypass vulnerability. This flaw arises from improper password checking, allowing remote attackers to access shared resources by submitting a single-byte password that corresponds to the first character of the actual password, effectively circumventing access restrictions. This vulnerability can compromise the availability of sensitive files and the integrity of shared directories, exposing users to unauthorized access.
