Researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and the University of Lübeck in Germany have published a paper, "SPOILER: Speculative Load Hazards Boost Rowhammer and Cache Attacks," ...
Security researchers have come up with a variation of the Rowhammer attack that bypasses all previously proposed countermeasures. The term Rowhammer is used to describe a security exploit that takes ...
A new technical paper titled “Preventing Rowhammer Exploits via Low-Cost Domain-Aware Memory Allocation” was published by researchers at Georgia Tech. “Rowhammer is a hardware security vulnerability ...
Academic researchers testing modern memory modules from Samsung, Micron, and Hynix discovered that current protections against Rowhammer attacks are insufficient. Current mitigation solutions are ...
About four years ago, the Rowhammer vulnerability in DRAM memory chips emerged. It came about by "hammering" -- many reads or write access -- a particular memory location causing a bit to change state ...
You can think of DRAM as conceptually similar to a spreadsheet -- DRAM cells are packed tightly together and are laid out in a series of rows and columns. As DRAM nodes have shrunk and technology has ...
Software, from web apps, to operating systems to firmware, has been abused and exploited every which way from Sunday for decades by both researchers and attackers. Now, it is hardware’s turn in the ...
