Description

Import a fix for and old security issue (CVE-2010-3830) in pf which
was not relevant to FreeBSD as only root could open /dev/pf by default.
With VIMAGE this is will longer be the case. As pf(4) starts to
be supported with VNETs 3rd party users may open /dev/pf inside the
virtual jail instance; thus we need to address this issue after all.
While OpenBSD largely rewrote code parts for the fix [1], and it's
unclear what Apple [3] did, import the minimal fix from NetBSD [2].
