If both a 32-bit ("_SM_") entry point and a 64-bit ("_SM3_") entry point are present, the specification requires that the latter points to a table which is a super-set of the table pointed to by the former. Therefore it makes no sense to decode both. Per specification, look for a 64-bit ("_SM3_") entry point first, and if we can't find any, look for a 32-bit ("_SM_" or "_DMI_") entry point. This fixes bug #50022: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?50022 --- dmidecode.c | 19 ++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) --- a/dmidecode.c +++ b/dmidecode.c @@ -4903,28 +4903,37 @@ memory_scan: goto exit_free; } - for (fp = 0; fp <= 0xFFF0; fp += 16) + /* Look for a 64-bit entry point first */ + for (fp = 0; fp <= 0xFFE0; fp += 16) { - if (memcmp(buf + fp, "_SM3_", 5) == 0 && fp <= 0xFFE0) + if (memcmp(buf + fp, "_SM3_", 5) == 0) { if (smbios3_decode(buf + fp, opt.devmem, 0)) { found++; - fp += 16; + goto done; } } - else if (memcmp(buf + fp, "_SM_", 4) == 0 && fp <= 0xFFE0) + } + + /* If none found, look for a 32-bit entry point */ + for (fp = 0; fp <= 0xFFF0; fp += 16) + { + if (memcmp(buf + fp, "_SM_", 4) == 0 && fp <= 0xFFE0) { if (smbios_decode(buf + fp, opt.devmem, 0)) { found++; - fp += 16; + goto done; } } else if (memcmp(buf + fp, "_DMI_", 5) == 0) { if (legacy_decode(buf + fp, opt.devmem, 0)) + { found++; + goto done; + } } }
