Following a major firmware update for a TPM-Pluton security flaw, AMD has a new chipset driver for all of its supported Ryzen platforms and processors. Version 7.06.02.123 is now available for download, and it adds unnamed bug fixes and an important addition to the AMD PPM Provisioning File driver, which improves the security of the component.
The security update in question is CETCOMPAT support for the AMD PPM Provisioning File driver. CET or Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) was introduced for Windows 10 versions 20H1 and 20H2 in early 2021. In a nutshell, it is an Intel-developed protection system that prevents malware from changing memory addresses (Shadow Stack) or redirecting programs to malicious code by ensuring they use only approved, safe locations (Indirect Branch Tracking).
AMD brought CETCOMPACT support to parts of its Ryzen chipset driver suite (the driver you download and install is a set of different drivers serving different purposes that AMD lets you select on the first screen) in October 2024. Now, with driver 7.06.02.123, CET compatibility has been added to the AMD PPM Provisioning File driver, which is responsible for core parking and power management.
Here is the list of updated drivers in today's release:
| Driver | Version (Windows 10) | Version (Windows 11) | Changelog |

| AMD PPM Provisioning File Driver | 8.0.0.53 | 8.0.0.53 | CETCOMPAT support is added |
