Resolves significant flaw in libconfuse impacting Fedora 27 users. Apply the patch for the out-of-bounds read security threat.
Fix for CVE-2018-14447.

Summary

libConfuse is a configuration file parser library, licensed under

the terms of the ISC license, and written in C. It supports

sections and (lists of) values (strings, integers, floats,

booleans or other sections), as well as some other features (such

as single/double-quoted strings, environment variable expansion,

functions and nested include statements). It makes it very

easy to add configuration file capability to a program using

a simple API.

The goal of libConfuse is not to be the configuration file parser

library with a gazillion of features. Instead, it aims to be

easy to use and quick to integrate with your code.
