Ok, the final patch for this is issue will be the simpler variant that
Eric suggested

The embargo can be considered to be lifted on Monday July 1st, at
0900 UTC

The following is the GIT change that DV or myself will apply to libvirt
GIT master immediately before the 1.1.0 release:

Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2013-2218: Fix crash listing network interfaces with
 filters

The virConnectListAllInterfaces method has a double-free of the
'struct netcf_if' object when any of the filtering flags cause
an interface to be skipped over. For example when running the
command 'virsh iface-list --inactive'

This is a regression introduced in release 1.0.6 by
