You installed the latest EMET on an up-to-date Win 7, selected Max Sec,
copied the ruleset for FF to TB's firefox.exe, disabled EAF in it,
selected Audit Mode (or welcome SimExecFlow
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13893#comment:56), and
restarted the system. Then you did STR, right?
At generic: this ticket is a general warning for users of TBB on Windows
that shows what is happening in various situations if they do or don't
install or install partially the latest updates from MS, install EMET,
etc. Also it is a recycle bin for all TBB crashes on Windows that users
can report into. And if somebody has a free time and willing to
investigate some he is welcome.
TBB Team: it's not worth effort to dig the MS crap.
0xc0000005 = ACCESS_VIOLATION or SIGSEGV or GPF - it could be anything...
0xc00000fd = STACK_OVERFLOW - it seems to be the thing you've discovered
on hardened...
And your CYGWIN WIN 6.3 x64 test machine is affected with vulnerable
ntdll.dll
That's all.
