File dmidecode-fortify-entry-point-length-checks.patch of Package dmidecode.28622
From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>

Subject: dmidecode: Fortify entry point length checks
Git-commit: 67dc0b27d50e3986d5e7cd35ec25cc5901a2e9e9
Patch-mainline: 3.5
Ensure that the SMBIOS entry point is long enough to include all the
fields we need. Otherwise it is pointless to even attempt to verify
its checksum.
A similar check was added to the SMBIOS entry point parser in the
Linux kernel.
