Rowhammer allows you to corrupt/alter memory physically adjacent to memory you have access to. It doesn't let you read the memory you're attacking.

There's PoC's of corrupting memory _that the kernel uses to decide what that process can access_ but the process can't read that memory. It only knows that the kernel says yes where it used to say no. (Assuming it doesn't crash the whole machine first)
