3. Description:
The netcf packages contain a library for modifying the network
configuration of a system. Network configuration is expressed in a
platform-independent XML format, which netcf translates into changes to the
system's "native" network configuration files.
A denial of service flaw was found in netcf. A specially crafted interface
name could cause an application using netcf (such as the libvirt daemon) to
crash. (CVE-2014-8119)
This issue was discovered by Hao Liu of Red Hat.
The netcf packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.2.8, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#1206680)
Users of netcf are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
For details on how to apply this update, refer to:

761246 - Bad parsing of network-scripts/ifcfg-xxxx files.
1090011 - Need to limit names of new interfaces to IFNAMSIZ
1113983 - netcf should allow interfaces to be configured with both DHCPv4 and static IPv4 addresses at the same time
1159000 - netcf ignores any IPv4 address past the first one
1170941 - Remove extraneous single quotes from IPV6ADDR_SECONDARIES
