Public bug reported: Hi,
On VMWare 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: https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/qRfrpHXwGs/ VMWare Issue: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/53609 Cheers! ** Affects: dmidecode (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Hi, On VMWare 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.
