| Description: | The mem_write function in the Linux kernel before 3.2.2, when ASLR is disabled, does not properly check permissions when writing to /proc//mem, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying process memory, as demonstrated by Mempodipper. Jüri Aedla discovered that the kernel incorrectly handled /proc//mem permissions. A local attacker could exploit this and gain root privileges.
