    As Kris commented, the games group doesn't normally have any
    significant privileges, so we don't consider bugs of this sort
    to be major security problems (it's not really an _elevation_
    of privileges to become gid games). On the other hand, these
    are certainly bugs which should get fixed.

    If you have any details about these, please forward them to
    secteam@freebsd.org so that we can investigate.
