Or add the user that needs this access to the "dialout" group (and log
out and back in so the group gets added to the user).   By default
that group is put on serial ports and that group has full rw.

sysctl -w kernel.dmesg_restrict=0
and setting that parameter in a /etc/sysctl.d so it gets done at boot
returns the original behavior.

Though as noted it is possible to gain useful information that malware

prived.
