## Description

Double free vulnerability in the virConnectListAllInterfaces method in
interface/interface\_backend\_netcf.c in libvirt 1.0.6 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (libvirtd crash) via a filtering
flag that causes an interface to be skipped, as demonstrated by the "virsh
iface-list --inactive" command.
