** Description changed: - incorrect /proc/<pid>/mem permission handling + The mem_write function in Linux kernel 2.6.39 and other versions, when + ASLR is disabled, does not properly check permissions when writing to + /proc/<pid>/mem, which allows local users to gain privileges by + modifying process memory, as demonstrated by Mempodipper.
