Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: dmidecode security update

Notes

Topic
An update for dmidecode is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
The dmidecode packages provide utilities for extracting Intel 64 and Intel Itanium hardware information from the system BIOS or Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), 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. Security Fix(es): * dmidecode: dump-bin to overwrite a local file (CVE-2023-30630) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
