New Revision: 326362
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/326362

Log:
  Disallow TUN and TAP character device IOCTLs to modify the network device
  type to any value. This can cause page faults and panics due to accessing
  uninitialized fields in the "struct ifnet" which are specific to the network
  device type.
