Researchers Come Up With a Way to Launch Rowhammer Attacks via Network Packets

Five academics from the Vrije University in Amsterdam and one from the University of Cyprus have discovered a way for launching Rowhammer attacks via network packets and network cards. Researchers named their new Rowhammer attack method Throwhammer, which they’ve detailed today in a research paper entitled “Throwhammer: Rowhammer Attacks over the Network and Defenses”” Researchers say they were able to cause bit flips in a remote Memcached server just by using network packets (the Throwhammer attack) and without any user actions (as was required with the classical Rowhammer)”
