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.
