openSUSE Security Update: Security update for python-numpy
______________________________________________________________________________

Announcement ID: openSUSE-SU-2019:0245-1
Rating: important
References: #1122208
Cross-References: CVE-2019-6446
Affected Products:
openSUSE Leap 15.0
______________________________________________________________________________

An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

This update for python-numpy fixes the following issue:

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.

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Patch Instructions:
