Rowhammer Hardware Exploit Poses Threat DRAM Memory in Many Laptops, PCs

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 spotlight, as researchers have published details of a new method for exploiting a problem with some...

DRAM Rowhammer vulnerability Leads to Kernel Privilege Escalation

Security researchers have find out ways to hijack the Intel-compatible PCs running Linux by exploiting the physical weaknesses in certain varieties of DDR DRAM double data rate dynamic random-access memory chips and gaining higher kernel privileges on the system. The technique, dubbed "rowhammer"...
