New GPUBreach Attack Enables Full CPU Privilege Escalation via GDDR6 Bit-Flips

New academic research has identified multiple RowHammer attacks against high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) that could be exploited to escalate privileges and, in some cases, even take full control of a host. The efforts have been codenamed GPUBreach, GDDRHammer, and GeForge. GPUBreach goes a step further than GPUHammer, demonstrating for the first time that
