"ECC RAM can detect and correct 1-bit errors and, thus,
deal with single bit flips caused by the Rowhammer attack.
Furthermore, IBM’s Chipkill error correction [27] allows to
successfully recover from 3-bit errors. However, uncorrectable
multi-bit flips can be exploitable [2, 3, 42] "
Maybe that, combined with a lot of weasel words about the effectiveness of ECC muddy the water.
