Even physical DRAM access would be thwarted by transparent total memory encryption, so this hack is still something else.


It's not fully mitigated by encryption, you can still do a lot of damage without being able to observe plaintexts. For example, you could "rewind" a ciphertext block to an earlier value, and induce a UAF-like condition in the software it belongs to.


Apple’s Secure Enclave has replay protection since Apple A11.

Generally, I don’t see why a modern security platform wouldn’t have its own private SRAM to be used as a root of trust for encrypted blobs stored in shared DRAM.


Right, that is in addition to mere encryption.
