Description
On Lenovo x3650 and x3550 M5s (at least), the last item in the smbios table runs past the end of the table, which causes smbios_bufopen to fail, setting the error to ESMB_CORRUPT. The last item is some vendor-specific thing that no one needs to look at, so it seems a bit unnecessary to deem the entire table corrupt as a result.
For comparison, Linux just ignores the item in this case, and OpenBSD doesn't even look at it, as it stops scanning the table when it finds the entry it wants.
