ScaleDisturb: Exploiting Temporal Asymmetry to Amplify Read Disturbance in Modern DRAM Chips

DRAM suffers from read disturbance phenomena e.g., RowHammer and RowPress, where repeatedly accessing or continuously keeping open a DRAM row aggressor row induces bitflips in other physically nearby unaccessed rows victim rows. The disturbance mechanism is practically exploitable from the softwa...

New $50 Battering RAM Attack Breaks Intel and AMD Cloud Security Protections

A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during...
