Exploiting the DRAM rowhammer bug to gain kernel privileges


Recommended Posts

Thought this one was kind of interesting -- using a bug/flaw in your DRAM modules to potentially gain privilege escalation on any operating system.  The article "hacks" the Linux kernel but theoretically can be done with any OS hosted on the faulty hardware. Doubt it's something to panic about, but interesting nonetheless.
