Alan hacked on this iirc so he might comment.

Al Viro has a similar patch in the FC kernels to govern read access to
/proc/*/maps based on the ptrace permissions.  This is probably the
same problem.  If you can use ptrace on the target process there is no
security reason why /proc/*/mem access shouldn't be granted.
