Thanks Mario and Pinzhen, both queued. That's an easy one to miss, the usage not being particularly obvious.
This cropped up and is fixed by that patch: https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/issues/63
Given the impact and how small the patch is, I think it might be good if this can come to 4.19-rcX if possible. Thoughts?
I suspect this one might be the same issue too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1627609
