| Summary: DMI table decoder | |
Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB). Beware that DMI data have proven to be too unreliable to be blindly trusted. Dmidecode does not scan your hardware, it only reports what the BIOS told it to.

- use-read_file-to-read-from-dump.patch: Fix an old harmless bug
which would prevent root from using the --from-dump option since
the latest security fixes (bsc#1210418).
* Fri Apr 14 2023 jdelvare@suse.de
Security fixes (CVE-2023-30630)
- dmidecode-split-table-fetching-from-decoding.patch: dmidecode:
Clean up function dmi_table so that it does only one thing
(bsc#1210418).
- dmidecode-write-the-whole-dump-file-at-once.patch: When option
- -dump-bin is used, write the whole dump file at once, instead of
opening and closing the file separately for the table and then
for the entry point (bsc#1210418).
- dmidecode-do-not-let-dump-bin-overwrite-an-existing-file.patch:
Make sure that the file passed to option --dump-bin does not
already exist (bsc#1210418).
- ensure-dev-mem-is-a-character-device-file.patch: Add a safety
check on the type of the mem device file we are asked to read
from, if we are root (bsc#1210418).
3 recommended fixes from upstream:
- dmioem-typo-fix-virutal-virtual.patch: Simple typo fix in a
user-visible string.
- dmidecode-fortify-entry-point-length-checks.patch: Ensure that
the SMBIOS entry point is long enough to include all the fields
we need.

2 recommended fixes from upstream:
- news-fix-typo.patch: We ship the NEWS file so avoid including a
typo in it.
- dmioem-fix-segmentation-fault-in-dmi_hp_240_attr.patch: Passing
NULL to a %s printf conversion specifier is illegal, and can
result in a segmentation fault. Current version of glibc doesn't
mind, but alternative, past or future libc implementations could
crash, so let's fix it.
