This is old, but haven't seen it here. https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/03/exploiting-dram-rowhammer-bug... --- Rowhammer” is a problem with some recent DRAM devices in which repeatedly accessing a row of memory can cause bit flips in adjacent rows. It was able to use this to gain write access to its own page table, and hence gain read-write access to all of physical memory. --- There is POC. Variant via javascript: https://github.com/IAIK/rowhammerjs How much/what hardware does this bug affect?
