Mempodipper is a local privilege-escalation vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mem_write function before version 3.2.2. When address space layout randomization (ASLR) is disabled, insufficient permission checks on writes through the proc process-memory interface allow local users to modify process memory and gain elevated privileges. The vulnerability involves flawed permission enforcement using self_exec_id tracking.
