    Vulnerability Name:

    CVE-1999-0520 (CCN-3)

    Summary:An SMB share was detected with no password required for full access. In some cases, an attacker can use these shares to gain access to the entire hard drive. It is common to find shares with all access enabled, since this is the default when the share is created. It is best to explicitly set the access control list on all shares.

    Vulnerability Name:

    CVE-1999-0520 (CCN-15)

    Summary:An SMB share was found to be open and accessible to any valid user, as well as a null session. The absence of an access control list permits attackers to access the shared resource (drive).

    Note: Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista are potentially vulnerable but do not allow network access from a null session by default.

    CVE-1999-0520 (CCN-26)

    Summary:An SMB share has been detected with no authentication required for write access. In some cases, an attacker can use these shares to gain access to the entire hard disk. Because anyone is allowed write access with no verification of user or password, this issue is considered a high risk vulnerability.
