A team of academics from the US, Austria, and Australia, has published new research today detailing yet another variation of the Rowhammer attack.
The novelty in this new Rowhammer variety -- which the research team has named RAMBleed -- is that it can be used to steal information from a targeted device, as opposed to altering existing data or to elevate an attacker's privileges, like all previous Rowhammer attacks, have done in the past.
