An addition to patches you work now:
/usr/games/cfscores and /usr/games/snscore should be moved out of DM
(remove HIDEGAME since they are not a games).
It assumes that score files itself remains public-readable, of course.

BTW, better way to be protected is not make binary setuid/gid at all if
possible, more better then revoke setuid/gid early at startup since
worms can be found in startup code. Bloating non setuid/gid binary with
revoke code is not needed and not helps for startup worms in any case.
