Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) before 4.0 uses predictable addresses for hooked functions, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to defeat the ASLR protection mechanism via a return-oriented programming (ROP) attack.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE concerns older Microsoft EMET versions before 4.0. EMET was meant to make exploitation harder, but predictable hook addresses could weaken ASLR protection and help attackers chain another vulnerability into working code execution. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems still running Microsoft EMET before version 4.0, especially where EMET is relied on to protect applications that process untrusted content. Treat this as a legacy-control reliability issue. It should not outrank actively exploited remote-code-execution flaws, but any remaining EMET-before-4.0 use deserves cleanup because it weakens a defense layer. Mitigation focus: Identify any EMET deployments and record installed versions.; Upgrade EMET deployments older than 4.0 where vendor guidance supports it.; Retire or isolate unsupported legacy systems that require old EMET versions..
