>Description:
      A user can view the host's ARP table with -for example- arp -an in a jail. This can reveal some IP (and MAC) addresses on the local networks and the frequency of the communication (ARP timeouts). This can be undesirable in some situations.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Jail a user and issue arp -an.
>Fix:
      It would be very good to have an option, similar to security.bsd.unprivileged_read_msgbuf to disable this kind of behaviour.
