At least two options.  One is to wait for fixed packages.  Bugzilla
says already that they are coming.  If you are impatient then
another option is to retrieve rpm for smbios-utils and
   
    rpm -Uvh --replacefiles smbios-utils*.rpm

Upcoming updates should clean-up a resulting mess (or do that
yourself).
