control-flow enforcement technology

About this tag
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) is a security feature designed to protect against control-flow hijacking attacks, such as memory hijacking and code redirection. It includes mechanisms like Shadow Stack and Indirect Branch Targeting. CET was initially developed by Intel and is supported by Microsoft in Windows 10 versions 20H1 and 20H2, as well as Windows 11. AMD has introduced CET compatibility in recent chipset driver updates for Ryzen CPUs, including the 9000, 8000, 7000, 5000, and 3000 series. These updates enhance system security on Windows platforms. However, enabling CET-related features like Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection in Windows 11 can cause issues with incompatible drivers and services, sometimes requiring users to disable the safeguard.
