Fedora 26: FEDORA-2017-8bd521abc9 moderate: augeas memory corruption

A library for programmatically editing configuration files. Augeas parses

configuration files into a tree structure, which it exposes through its

public API. Changes made through the API are written back to the initially

read files.

The transformation works very hard to preserve comments and formatting

details. It is controlled by ``lens' definitions that describe the file

format and the transformation into a tree.

New upstream version 1.8.1. Fixes CVE-2017-7555 (RHBZ#1482340).
