Hi Pedro,
As Christian mentioned above, we tried to reproduce the issue on bionic
but were not able to.
Interestingly, when I was looking at the package we ship on bionic, I
noticed that the patch you mentioned on comment #6 is already included
on dmidecode 3.1. Actually, if you look at the upstream repository, you
can verify that the patch has been there since version 2.10 (from 2008).
Could you please provide a bit more information on how to reproduce the
failure? Thanks!

Bug description:
Hi,
On VMWare 6.5 and higher (HW version 13 and higher) when decoding
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial dmidecode produces an output whereby
the first 16 characters have been reversed in comparison to
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid.
This manifests itself by breaking provisioning in Kubernetes and could
cause other issues down the line. Other OS such as redhat have already
patched this in their releases.
A demonstration of the issue can be found in this pastebin:
