openSUSE Leap 15.0: 2019:0245-1 Important: Arbitrary Code Execution Risk
opensuse
February 26, 2019
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.
