** 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.
