Windows includes support for Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP). We recommend enabling this feature to improve the security profile of the computer.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled.
Note: After you enable SEHOP, existing versions of Cygwin, Skype, and Armadillo-protected applications may not work correctly.
Fix:
(1) GPO:Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\MS Security Guide\Enable Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP)
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel:DisableExceptionChainValidation
Parameter:
[Enabled/Disabled]
Technical Mechanism:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\\Policies\\Administrative Templates\\MS Security Guide\\Enable Structured Exception Handling Overwrite Protection (SEHOP)
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\kernel:DisableExceptionChainValidation
