    With a 10 Gbps network and a DMA network card on the target machine, you can make a Rowhammer attack without running your code on the target machine; Your network packets will be enough:

    > Imagine an attacker has either rented or compromised a system inside the network. Assuming RDMA support and an RDMA application on the server, Throwhammer can potentially exploit the application by triggering bit flips. This changes the threat model from requiring the attacker to have code execution on the victim (through JavaScript or natively) to merely being able to send network packets to an open port.

    The researchers dubbed the attack "Throwhammer".

      Packets over a LAN are all it takes to trigger serious Rowhammer bit flips

      The bar for exploiting potentially serious DDR weakness keeps getting lower.
