Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) is a free tool used by companies to strengthen Windows computers against publicly known and unknown software exploits. Researchers from security vendor FireEye have found a method through which exploits can unload EMET-enforced protections by leveraging a legitimate function in the tool itself. EMET can enforce modern exploit mitigation mechanisms like Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) or Export Address Table Access Filtering (EAF) to applications, especially legacy ones, that were built without them.”]
