Removal of msvcr71.dll

$

In the interest of securing platforms, we desire to remove msvcr71.dll entirely from systems.  This legacy file has been used in multiple exploits as it is a prime candidate for mining gadgets in ROP type attacks.

 

I see that even the latest versions of PowerBuilder seem to depend on this legacy file.  msvcr100.dll is also included, however.  I find it confusing that 2 different versions of the C Runtime are required.

 

Is it possible to use, build, and deploy applications with PowerBuilder using only the msvcr100.dll version of the C Runtime?

 

Alternatively, if there is a way to enforce ASLR on the msvcr71.dll can that be done through PowerBuilder?
