It appears to be known to the exploit. I feel that this is being so overblown and that the exploits we are seeing require more info that something in the wild would have.

Code in the wild would have access to all memory (slowly) so could eventually find the correct location.

Given that whoever writes is would also have access to the other program, they would have a lot more information on where to look in memory.
