Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235961

If using the default virtual network, an easy way to lose guest network
connectivity is to install libvirt inside the VM. The autostarted
default network inside the guest collides with host virtual network
routing. This is a long standing issue that has caused users quite a
bit of pain and confusion.

On network startup, parse /proc/net/route and compare the requested
IP+netmask against host routing destinations: if any matches are found,
refuse to start the network.

v2: Drop sscanf, fix a comment typo, comment that function could use
     libnl instead of /proc

inet_ntoa() isn't threadsafe (it re-uses the same static buffer). strdup reduces the window, but the potential for a bad result is still there. Better to use inet_ntop(), or possibly use virSocketFormatAddr() (although that would have a bit of setup involved).

But since the string you're comparing it to below was also originally a binary value (and also converted with inet_ntoa(), maybe the best thing would be to just compare the binary values directly and avoid the conversion.

After seeing the exchange with nDuff in #virt a couple days ago, it occurred to me that, in order to really check for an *exact* match of networks (and thus allow one to be a subset of the other, which can be a valid configuration), you should also parse further on in the line and get the netmask. Then compare netmasks of the two (as well as ANDing addr_val with the netmask to eliminate possibility of a network address that has extra bits set in the bottom).

+
+        in.s_addr = addr_val;
+        dest_ip = inet_ntoa(in);

Again, a non-threadsafe call to inet_ntoa().
