The Rowhammer attack has impacted Nvidia GPUs for the first time, highlighting vulnerabilities in GDDR6 memory. Nvidia notified its customers via a security advisory about the potential risks following a research paper from the University of Toronto describing this exploit. The attack, which relies on bit-flips in memory, has been known since 2014 when introduced in various devices. This method can require shared hardware access but may also function over networks under certain conditions. The recent focus is on Nvidia A6000 GPUs, while newer models seem unaffected.
Nvidia issued a security advisory regarding the threat of Rowhammer attacks, highlighting its potential to affect bits in Nvidia GPUs despite designed defenses.
Researchers demonstrated the first practical Rowhammer attack on Nvidia GPUs with GDDR6 memory, specifically targeting Nvidia A6000 GPUs.
