WSA and EMET 4.0 Compatibility Issues

Hello,

I believe that WSA and EMET 4.0 have compatibility issues related to the Identity Shield. If I enable the ID shield, Google Chrome won't even start (crashes at startup). If I have ID shield disabled, then it runs just fine.

Joe, can you please look into this issue? I wouldn't really want to choose one over the other if possible.


Thanks.

 

EMET 4 is in beta, with many incompatibilities, so i will wait before implementing it and i will just keep WSA as it is now.

 

You do have a point. I guess there's no use fixing the incompatibilities for now since EMET can change a great deal from now until the final release.

Thanks for the reply anyway.

 

emet.dll from EMET v4 is being blocked in the browser by Identity Shield, perhaps that explains the crashes?

 

That sounds like the browser addon isolation - could you try changing just the DLL to allow and see if it works?

Thanks!

 

That seems to fix it.
If this can be fixed from the cloud, here is the line from the scan log:
c:\windows\apppatch\emet.dll [MD5: A1C42183DF570B83952DCABC62F6B685] [Flags: 00081000.9623]

 

EMET 4.0 final has been released, with Deep Hooks turned on and ID shield turned on, some browsers will crash. If either of them is turned off they don't crash, so it seems the compatibility issue is between Deep Hooks option and ID shield. Here is more info on Deep Hooks from the manual:

Also, when ID shield is enabled, EMET's Banned Functions don't seem to work:

 

Thanks for the heads up - I'll see what we can do to work around this.

 

Nice

 

Hi, is there any news on this issue?

 

It seems the issue still persists in v8.0.4.12

 

That's correct, we have not been able to correct this yet but it is still on the list.

 

Thanks, I hope it can be fixed soon.

 

FYI - this should be fixed in the next build. Thanks!

 

Very nice, thanks
