Synopsis
dmidecode bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated dmidecode package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The dmidecode package provides utilities for extracting x86 and Intel Itanium
hardware information from the system BIOS or EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface), depending on the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically
includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, and asset
tag, as well as other details, depending on the manufacturer.
- Previously, extended records for Memory Device (DMI type 17) and Memory Array
Mapped Address (DMI type 19) DMI types were missing from the dmidecode utility
output. With this update, dmidecode has been upgraded to upstream version 2.11,
which updates support for the SMBIOS specification to version 2.7.1, thus fixing
this bug. (BZ#744690)
All users of dmidecode are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
