A Retrospective and Futurespective of Rowhammer Attacks and Defenses on DRAM. (arXiv:2201.02986v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Rowhammer has drawn much attention from both academia and industry in the
last few years as rowhammer exploitation poses severe consequences to system
security. Since the first comprehensive study of rowhammer in 2014, a number of
rowhammer attacks have been demonstrated against ubiquitous dynamic random
access memory (DRAM)-based commodity systems to cause denial-of-service, gain
privilege escalation, leak sensitive information or degrade DNN model inference
accuracy. Accordingly, numerous software defenses have been proposed to protect
legacy systems while hardware defenses aim …
