CVE Descriptions

Apple Mac EFI before 2015-001, as used in OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, does not properly set refresh rates for DDR3 RAM, which might make it easier for remote attackers to conduct row-hammer attacks, and consequently gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption), by triggering certain patterns of access to memory locations.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

It works by inducing a bit flip in read-only code so that the code is no longer safe, producing instruction sequences that wouldn't pass NaCl's x86-64 validator. Note that this uses the CLFLUSH instruction, so it doesn't work in newer versions of NaCl where this instruction is disallowed by the validator. There are two ways to test the exploit program without getting a real rowhammer-induced bit flip: * Unit testing: rowhammer_escape_test.c can be compiled and run as a Linux executable (instead of as a NaCl executable). In this case, it tests each possible bit flip in its code template, checking that each is handled correctly. * Testing inside NaCl: The patch "inject_bit_flip_for_testing.patch" modifies NaCl's dyncode_create() syscall to inject a bit flip for testing purposes. This syscall is NaCl's interface for loading code dynamically. Mark Seaborn mseaborn@chromium.org March 2015
