The powerpc-utils-python packages provide Python-based utilities for maintaining and servicing PowerPC systems.
Security Fix(es):
It was found that the amsvis command of the powerpc-utils-python package did not verify unpickled data before processing it. This could allow an attacker who can connect to an amsvis server process (or cause an amsvis client process to connect to them) to execute arbitrary code as the user running the amsvis process. (CVE-2014-8165)
