The iPhone 17 introduces a groundbreaking new memory security feature aimed at enhancing user data protection, marking a significant advancement in smartphone security technology.
Researchers have demonstrated GPUHammer, a new RowHammer attack variant targeting NVIDIA GPUs that can cause severe degradation of AI model accuracy by inducing bit flips in GPU memory. The attack poses significant risks to AI infrastructure, especially in shared environments, and can be mitigated by enabling ECC, though at some performance cost. This development highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in GPU memory security and the importance of robust defenses for AI systems.
