DRAM chips are very tightly packed. Research has shown that neighboring bits can be flipped at random.
- What is the probability of the bug triggering at random in a server-grade DRAM chip with ECC (the CMU-Intel paper cites e.g. the number 9.4x10^-14 for an unknown chip for one failure in a year's time)?
- How do I know whether the bug is fixed before buying memory?
- What should I do to counter malicious attempts to do privilege escalation by e.g. tenants or unprivileged users on e.g. CentOS 7?
