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)

This issue was discovered by Dhiru Kholia of Red Hat Product Security.
