Prior to the release of Leopard it was trivial to manipulate another process's memory space as long as the processes were owned by the same user. Now the user has to authorize against a specific right, run as root, or the application trying to accomplish this has to be signed in order for it to work. Aside from that, tho, the actual application or reading/writing another process's memory space is still pretty trivial using mach calls.
