Phoenix RowHammer Attack Bypasses Advanced DDR5 Memory Protections in 109 Seconds
A team of academics from ETH Zürich and Google has discovered a new variant of a RowHammer attack targeting Double Data Rate 5 (DDR5) memory chips from South Korean semiconductor vendor SK Hynix.
The RowHammer attack variant, codenamed Phoenix (CVE-2025-6202, CVSS score: 7.1), is capable of bypassing sophisticated protection mechanisms put in place to resist the attack.
"We have proven that

Sounds like viruses are becoming more sophisticated, and advanced as the days go by. Being able to obtain root access on a DDR5 system in less then 2 minutes, is pretty significant and not something to be overlooked. Interested to hear what they will do to improve their anti systems.
