Hey Mark, For the longest time /proc/pid/mem writing was ifdef'd out. Then for the 2.6.39 kernel release, they deemed that the work they'd been doing to make the writing interface secure was strong enough, so they included the ability to write [1]. So versions before 2.6.39 are not vulnerable, and after it (until 3.3, I guess) are. Hope this clarifies.
Nice writeup. They should have known to comment out is bad thing, they already received exploit demo 2011 when fixing CVE-2011-1020 http://www.halfdog.net/Security/2011/SuidBinariesAndProcInterface/ If /procc/[pid]/mem would be writeable on standard linux kernels, this program should give local root privilege escalation (SeekHelper.c), e.g. ./SeekHelper /proc/self/mem 8048000 /usr/bin/sudoedit -p xxx /etc/sudoers with a crafted address and promt payload. Currently something else is still blocking in kernel, could be fs/proc/base.c hd

From your post I gather it's only 2.6.39 that's vulnerable right? http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2012-0056 is showing that lower versions are "fixed" and just "not vulerable" and I coulnd't get it to work with kernel 2.6.32, but figured maybe there was a chance it still worked for all of 2.6 as i see linus has commited it to 2.6 Mark On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 6:19 PM, Jason A.

Pretty fun bug to play with -- dup2ing all over the place for the prize of getting to write arbitrary process memory into su :-).
