Hello,
I encountered a bug while updating some Dell server BIOS, with a 3.0.0 BIOS on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid). The current version of python-libsmbios on lucid suffers of a parsing bug on the bios version string, due to null bytes (.0.0) in the version string.
With the following files:
Works: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0236_version_2.3.12/bios.hdr
Fails: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0236_version_3.0.0/bios.hdr
this can be verified with the following command:
# smbios-rbu-bios-update --hdr-info=bios-3.0.0.hdr
BIOS HDR file information dump.
Filename: /dev/shm/bios.hdr
File magic header: $RBU
Header length: 84
Header major version: 2
Header minor version: 0
Number of supported systems: 10
Quick check field: Copyright 2011 Dell Inc.

ver = "%d.%d.%d" % struct.unpack("BBB", self.hdr.biosVersion)
struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 3
On newer Ubuntu versions, libsmbios has a fix about that ; could it be backported to lucid ?

Hello,
I encountered a bug while updating some Dell server BIOS, with a 3.0.0 BIOS on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid). The current version of python-libsmbios on lucid suffers of a parsing bug on the bios version string, due to null bytes (.0.0) in the version string.
With the following files:
Works: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0236_version_2.3.12/bios.hdr
Fails: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0236_version_3.0.0/bios.hdr
== SRU Justification ==
* Impact: users needing to upgrade DELL server's firmware to version 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS are not be able to do so due to parsing issue.
TEST CASE:
How to reproduce:
1. wget http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_0x0236_version_3.0.0/bios.hdr
2. smbios-rbu-bios-update --hdr-info=bios.hdr
Expected results:
No error messages, and a proper parse output from the bios.
Actual results:
Python traceback.
Output from step 2 failing follows:
# smbios-rbu-bios-update --hdr-info=bios-3.0.0.hdr
BIOS HDR file information dump.
Filename: /dev/shm/bios.hdr
