I am not able to reproduce the problem. I have an old Thinkpad laptop where the DMI table is located at 0xDAE9C000, which would be a negative number if 32-bit and signed, so I thought it would trigger the bug you reported. However dmidecode works just fine on it. I tried removing -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 from CFLAGS to force off_t to be a signed 32-bit type, but even that does not lead to a SIGSEGV for me. The only bug from that change is that dmidecode will report the table at 0xFFFFFFFFDAE9C000 instead (which is incorrect, but harmless).

Can you provide more details about how to reproduce the bug?

On an x86_32 bit user environment, I found that in mem_chunk function, if base is a very high address(base is a signed number), a negative mmoffset will be obtained here, which will lead to subsequent crashes. I dealt with the problem. Please refer to the attachment.
