I do wish they would tell us if EMET[1] is an effective mitigation for this vulnerability or not. Considering it involves memory corruption it's likely.. But finding out the hard way would be no fun.

"First, our tests showed that EMET default configuration can block the exploits seen in the wild."

It's usually the case that EMET blocks the "standard" exploit, but it can be bypassed with a little more work. It depends on the bug, but there are real world cases for which many have exploits that fully bypass EMET with all settings on.
