Rowhammer attacks have been around since 2014, and mitigations are in place in most modern systems, but the team at gddr6.fail has found ways to apply the attack to current-generation GPUs.

Rowhammer attacks on GPUs can not only destroy data, but also be misused for privilege escalation.

New academic research has identified multiple RowHammer attacks against high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) that could be exploited to escalate privileges and, in some cases, even take ...

A new attack, dubbed GPUBreach, can induce Rowhammer bit-flips on GPU GDDR6 memories to escalate privileges and lead to a full system compromise. GPUBreach was developed by a team of researchers at ...

A vulnerability that was previously believed to be mainly limited to processor RAM has now moved into the graphics card space, affecting GDDR6 memory modules used in Nvidia GPUs. Security researchers ...

The takeaway: Researchers have spent over a decade studying Rowhammer attacks, in which hackers corrupt memory by repeatedly accessing cells to flip bits through power leakage. A new study suggests ...

NVIDIA’s gaming GPUs are now part of a more serious security conversation after new research showed that Rowhammer attacks can move beyond regular system memory and target GDDR memory inside certain ...

Users of NVIDIA Ampere-based GPUs equipped with GDDR6 memory beware—new Rowhammer attacks are in the wild that exploit these cards for a full system control hijack. It is not all Ampere GPUs affected, ...

The cost of high-performance GPUs, typically $8,000 or more, means they are frequently shared among dozens of users in cloud environments. Three new attacks demonstrate how a malicious user can gain ...

Intel teams up everywhere; GPU rowhammer attack; faster verification; Samsung's new packaging site; Taiwan IC industry wants ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. David Kindness is a Certified Public ...

Abstract: We present DySample, an ultra-lightweight and effective dynamic upsampler. While impressive performance gains have been witnessed from recent kernel-based dynamic upsamplers such as CARAFE, ...
