The mitigations offered by EMET have the potential to break some applications. This thread is to discuss people's experiences with applications that do not work correctly under EMET. The goal is to isolate which specific mitigations cause problems and for which applications (or plug-ins where appropriate). For those trying to determine which mitigations are causing problems, the most likely candidates are EAF and DEP.
Here are the issues the EMET support team has been able to confirm:
Application or plug-in | Issues that occur | Mitigation or setting causing the issues |
Skype | Fails to run | EAF |
NetFlix SilverLight app | Video playback in browser fails | EAF |
ATI Drivers | System blue screens on boot | System ASLR policy set to always on (must enable unsafe settings to see this option) |
iPod Synchronization service | Service crashes | System DEP policy set to always on |
AOL | System gives “out of memory” error messages | System DEP policy set to always on |
