RHEA-2014:0326 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
dmidecode bug fix update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated dmidecode packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The dmidecode packages provide 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.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, SMBIOS implementations newer than version 2.7 were not
fully supported by the dmidecode tool in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. As a
consequence, dmidecode was not able to automate builds and deployments on
certain hardware. To fix this bug, dmidecode has been updated and now supports
version 2.8 SMBIOS. (BZ#1067392)
Users of dmidecode are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
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 use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
