As long as rowhammer is still out there, aint none of your memory safe. Fixing rowhammer is the memory safety absolutism I want to hear more about.

ECC memory fixes rowhammer. And random bitflips. Everyone should have ECC memory, but Intel disagrees because they are greedy.

My system sometimes detects a few bitflips per day.

There have been demonstrated rowhammer-based ECC bypass attacks. ECC mitigates but does not fix rowhammer.
