Rowhammer Backdoor Injection Attack During Inference (Northeastern)

Researchers from Northeastern University published a technical paper titled “ROBBIN: Rowhammer-Based Backdoor Injection during Inference.” Abstract excerpt: “This work presents ROBBIN, a hardware-aware Rowhammer-based backdoor injection attack that integrates the device-specific vulnerability into the backdoor construction process. ROBBIN first characterizes the bit-flip patterns of a target DRAM and uses this information to iteratively select DRAM page mappings for the model weights that would
