NVIDIA GPUs Vulnerable to GPUThor Rowhammer Attack Bypassing ECC
NVIDIA GPUs are vulnerable to a new type of attack, dubbed GPUThor, which can cause massive corruption - up to 377,552 bit flips per gigabyte - on certain models, including the RTX A5000, when their GDDR6 memory is exploited. This Rowhammer-style attack can bypass ECC protection, putting powerful NVIDIA workstation cards at risk.
GPUThor Attack Bypasses NVIDIA ECC Protection
Meet GPUThor, a game-changing attack that shatters NVIDIA's ECC protection, making it alarmingly easy to execute practical root-level attacks. This sinister technique can trigger a staggering 72,000 to 377,000 bit flips per gigabyte, putting even the toughest defenses to shame.
