SUSE: 2019:13951-1 important: python-numpy
Summary
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. Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE Security Update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch". Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product: - SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11-SP4: zypper in -t patch sdksp4-python-numpy-13951=1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP4: zypper in -t patch slessp4-python-numpy-13951=1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Debuginfo 11-SP4: zypper in -t patch dbgsp4-python-numpy-13951=1 Package List: - SUSE Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11-SP4 (i586 ia64 ppc64 s390x x86_64): python-numpy-devel-1.8.0-6.4.1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP4 (i586 ia64 ppc64 s390x x86_64): python-numpy-1.8.0-6.4.1 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Debuginfo 11-SP4 (i586 x86_64): python-numpy-debuginfo-1.8.0-6.4.1 python-numpy-debugsource-1.8.0-6.4.1
