Wow now this really need to be fixed something this easy will be exploited.

Sign me up for 10Gb Internet access and I'm willing to take my chances!

This attack will likely stay in the computer labs..
10GB+ Networking - required.
RDMA - required.

So, this looks like it would only really affect the datacenter, but then ECC memory is used in such places, so bit-flipping shouldn't be much of an issue.
