Poor Rowhammer Fixes On DDR4 DRAM Chips Re-Enable Bit Flipping Attacks

Remember rowhammer vulnerability? A critical issue affecting modern DRAM dynamic random access memory chips that could allow attackers to obtain higher kernel privileges on a targeted system by repeatedly accessing memory cells and induce bit flips. To mitigate Rowhammer vulnerability on the late...

CVE-2020-10255

Modern DRAM chips DDR4 and LPDDR4 after 2015 are affected by a vulnerability in deployment of internal mitigations against RowHammer attacks known as Target Row Refresh TRR, aka the TRRespass issue. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to create certain access patterns to trigger bit...

Privilege escalation

Modern DRAM chips DDR4 and LPDDR4 after 2015 are affected by a vulnerability in deployment of internal mitigations against RowHammer attacks known as Target Row Refresh TRR, aka the TRRespass issue. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to create certain access patterns to trigger bit...

CVE-2020-10255

The CVE-2020-10255/TRRRespass issue affects modern memory (DDR4/LPDDR4 after 2015) where Target Row Refresh mitigations can be bypassed by rowhammer patterns. Documents in connected sources confirm this can allow privilege escalation, kernel/Sudo compromise, and cross-tenant VM access via bit fli...

CVE-2015-0565

CVE-2015-0565 corresponds to a rowhammer memory‑disturbance bug where NaCl and related x86 code could cause cache interactions (via CLFLUSH) to trigger bit flips in DRAM, enabling rowhammer-based exploits. The Connected documents describe two notable exploits: (1) NaCl sandbox escape by abusing b...

A week in security (December 30 – January 5)

Last week on Malwarebytes Labs, we took a dive into edge computing, looked at new web skimmer techniques, and rolled our eyes at silly people doing silly things. Other cybersecurity news: Stills and chills: A Reddit user notices their security camera is grabbing stills from other people’s devices...

New PlunderVolt Attack Targets Intel SGX Enclaves by Tweaking CPU Voltage

A team of cybersecurity researchers demonstrated a novel yet another technique to hijack Intel SGX, a hardware-isolated trusted space on modern Intel CPUs that encrypts extremely sensitive data to shield it from attackers even when a system gets compromised. Dubbed Plundervolt and tracked as...

RAMBleed attack steals sensitive data from computer memory

By Waqas "RAMBleed Reading Bits in Memory Without Accessing Them." A team of security researchers has published a report on a relatively advanced and previously undetected variant of the Rowhammer attack called RAMBleed. Researchers claim that the new variant can be used for reading the contents ...

RAMBleed Side-Channel Attack Exposes Privileged Memory

A team of academic researchers has discovered a follow-on to the Rowhammer class of attacks that allows attackers to read memory data on a target Windows computer, without actually accessing the memory itself. The method is dubbed RAMBleed. Andrew Kwong and Daniel Genkin at the University of...

RAMBleed Attack – Flip Bits to Steal Sensitive Data from Computer Memory

A team of cybersecurity researchers yesterday revealed details of a new side-channel attack on dynamic random-access memory DRAM that could allow malicious programs installed on a modern system to read sensitive memory data from other processes running on the same hardware. Dubbed RAMBleed and...
