Description
In "src/efi.c" the function "log_append()" is called with a log level "LOG_DEBUG", but the corresponding function in "src/dmilog.c" only allows "LOG_ERR" and "LOG_WARNING". This bug was introduced with a commit in 2022.
Here you can find a reproducer script:
import dmidecode
def replicate_bug():
# Among other things, this reads BIOS information, thereby
# triggering python-dmidecode to read /sys/firmware/efi/systab
try:
bios_info = dmidecode.bios()
print("Successfully retrieved BIOS information.")
# for entry in bios_info.values():
# print(entry)
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred while retrieving the BIOS information: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
replicate_bug()
This script will produce the following output:
** ERROR ** Failed to save log entry
SMBIOS3: entry point at 0xc7c59000
Successfully retrieved BIOS information.
** COLLECTED WARNINGS **
Wrong DMI structures count: 0 announced, only 68 decoded.
** END OF WARNINGS **
