openSUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for biosdevname ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2020:1757-1 Rating: moderate References: #1174491 Affected Products: openSUSE Leap 15.2 ______________________________________________________________________________ An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed. Description: This update for biosdevname fixes the following issues: - Read DMI info rom sysfs. (bsc#1174491) A kernel with Secure Boot lockdown may prohibit reading the contents of /dev/mem, hence biosdevname fails. The recent kernel provides the DMI byte contents in /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/*. - Add buffer read helper using read explicitly. mmap can't work well with a sysfs file and it's required to read the contents explicitly via read, even if USE_MMAP is enabled. This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
