EMET achieves this goal by using security mitigation technologies. These technologies function as special protections and obstacles that an exploit author must defeat to exploit software vulnerabilities. These security mitigation technologies do not guarantee that vulnerabilities cannot be exploited. However, they work to make exploitation as difficult as possible to perform. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544 '''Issue''' Since upgrading to 3.8.1, FileZilla is being terminated by EMET as it is triggering the ""SimExecFlow"" mitigation: EMET detected SimExecFlow mitigation and will close the application: filezilla.exe {{{ SimExecFlow check failed: Application : C:\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client\filezilla.exe User Name : asdf Session ID : 1 PID : 0x1198 (4504) TID : 0x2428 (9256) CodeAddress : 0x009D1909 CodeStackPtr : 0x28FDB4 CalledAddress : 0x753F4327 API name : kernel32.VirtualProtect StackPtr : 0x0028FD98 FramePtr : 0x28FDC0 }}} As EMET is used in enterprise environments where it cannot be disabled by users, this issue prevents FileZilla from functioning.
