It takes more than an attention-grabbing headline to make something clickbait. There is no real financial incentive here; they gave their talk a provocative title so people would show up. There are not misrepresenting the facts; you can get root from JavaScript using Rowhammer, and they'll tell you how.
Additionally, there is something called Rowhammer.js:

- _Codemonkeyism 11y agoAgain, I feel the need to represent the facts from the video for people stumbling over this thread (as of 2016/01): 1.) Rowhammer.js does not (yet) give root access through JS on a website, this is work in progress. The current Rowhammer JS script can create bit flips in DRAM lines. 2.) They do not show how to get root access with Rowhammer.js, they describe a scenario they are working on and that might work in the future, which involves getting access to memory pages with memory cached versions of scripts that someone might execute as root.
