NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dmidecode package and not the dmidecode package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Dmidecode before 3.5 allows -dump-bin to overwrite a local file. This has security relevance because, for example, execution of Dmidecode via Sudo is plausible.
