An update that solves one vulnerability can now be installed.
Description:
This update for python-numpy fixes the following issues:
Security issue fixed:
- CVE-2019-6446: Set allow_pickle to false by default to restrict loading untrusted content (bsc#1122208). With this update we decrease the possibility of allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by misusing numpy.load(). A warning during runtime will show-up when the allow_pickle is not explicitly set.
NOTE: By applying this update the behavior of python-numpy changes, which might break your application.
In order to get the old behaviour back, you have to explicitly set allow_pickle to True. Be aware
that this should only be done for trusted input, as loading untrusted input might lead to arbitrary code
execution.
