Description
Web Extender Client (WEC) in Microsoft Office 2000, Windows 2000, and Windows Me does not properly process Internet Explorer security settings for NTLM authentication, which allows attackers to obtain NTLM credentials and possibly obtain the password, aka the "Web Client NTLM Authentication" vulnerability.
