On Thursday, researchers are unveiling the most practical demonstration yet of Rowhammer's power and reach: an exploit that remotely executes malicious code on Android phones by harnessing their graphical processors. Dubbed GLitch, the exploit is the first to show that GPUs can flip individual bits stored in dynamic random-access memory.
