Package: lshw Version: 02.18-0.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Running lshw with sudo or as root will cause a strange crash - the command prints a long bugcheck output stating "kernel memory exposure attempt detected" and causes user input to become impossible for some time. Eventually, it is possible to input characters again but they get multiplied randomly - for example if you type a single O, it will become OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This was working previously. I suspect this has something to do with my platform which is a baytrail intel atom. The LSHW package is a part of clonezilla procedure which is where I encountered the bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lshw depends on: ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.1-4 ii libstdc++6 6.2.1-4 Versions of packages lshw recommends: ii pciutils 1:3.3.1-1.1 ii usbutils 1:007-4 lshw suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
