Ten Years of Rowhammer: A Retrospect (and Path to the Future)

The density of memory cells in modern DRAM is so high that disturbance errors, like the Rowhammer effect, have become quite frequent. An attacker can exploit Rowhammer to flip bits in inaccessible memory locations by reading the contents of nearby accessible memory rows. Since its discovery in 2014, we have seen a cat-and-mouse security game with a continuous stream of new attacks and new defenses. Now, in 2024, exactly 10 years after Rowhammer was discovered, it is time to look back and reflect on the progress we have made and give an outlook on the future. Additionally, we will present an open-source framework to check if your system is vulnerable to Rowhammer.
