They're bitfields, not serialized values, so if you have the permission number for a group (and it could very well be 3), then you can check it by using

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->usergroupcache[12]['gallery'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['gallery']['vote'])
{
   // they have vote permission
} 


I don't know if $vbulletin->usergroupcache[12]['gallery'] is right or not. It's not clear from what's posted above.
