   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.
