Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHKL_24814

Symptoms:
	PHKL_24814:
	( SR:8606208551 CR:JAGad77739 )
	A panic can occur on the u16000 due to memory corruption
	caused by the SMBIOS.

Defect Description:
	PHKL_24814:
	( SR:8606208551 CR:JAGad77739 )
	On the u16000, the size used for the SMBIOS table exceeded
	the specification for a type 38 SMBIOS table.  Thus, when
	the entire table was copied into memory, the size of the
	table exceeded the amount of memory statically allocated
	for it. The resulting memory corruption cased a system
	panic.

	Resolution:
	The SMBIOS table definition was changed to represent the
	specification and the code examining the table was changed
	to only copy the smaller of  the length specified in the
	table or the fixed size of the table.
