Pine before version 3.94 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a lockfile that is created when a user receives new mail.

cpio on FreeBSD 2.1.0, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, and possibly other operating systems, uses a 0 umask when creating files using the -O (archive) or -F options, which creates the files with mode 0666 and allows local users to read or overwrite those files.
