⚠️ Researchers at ETH Zürich and Google disclosed a RowHammer variant named Phoenix (CVE-2025-6202) that reliably induces bit flips on SK Hynix DDR5 devices and bypasses on-die ECC and advanced TRR protections. The team demonstrated an end-to-end privilege escalation on a production desktop with default DDR5 settings in as little as 109 seconds. Phoenix takes advantage of refresh intervals that mitigation logic does not sample, enabling flips across DIMM stacks produced between 2021 and 2024. Because DRAM chips cannot be updated in the field, the researchers recommend increasing the DRAM refresh rate to 3× as an immediate mitigation and urge vendors to pursue firmware and hardware countermeasures.

🔒 Apple published iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 updates that patch multiple vulnerabilities but did not report active exploitation. The releases address 27 defects in iOS/iPadOS and 77 in macOS, and also include fixes across Safari, watchOS, visionOS and Xcode. Users who prefer not to upgrade to the year-numbered releases can apply security-only updates — iOS 18.7, iPadOS 18.7 or macOS 15.7 — while many devices from 2019 or earlier are not supported. Trend Micro’s Dustin Childs said he saw no sign of active exploitation in this batch, though macOS fixes for PackageKit and StorageKit are notable because exploitation could yield root privileges.
