When Mitigations Backfire: Timing Channel Attacks and Defense for PRAC-Based RowHammer Mitigations
Jeonghyun Woo, Joyce Qu, Gururaj Saileshwar +1
Per Row Activation Counting (PRAC) has emerged as a robust framework for mitigating RowHammer (RH) vulnerabilities in modern DRAM systems. However, we uncover a critical vulnerabil…

PrisonBreak: Jailbreaking Large Language Models with at Most Twenty-Five Targeted Bit-flips
Zachary Coalson, Jeonghyun Woo, Chris S. Lin +8
We study a new vulnerability in commercial-scale safety-aligned large language models (LLMs): their refusal to generate harmful responses can be broken by flipping only a few bits…
