Package: hwinfo
Version: 21.0-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
(I had hoped to provide a more detailed analysis so I did
an 'apt-get source hwinfo' but my builds died horribly,
complaining that I was missing packages like 'dbus-1'
that I'd prefer not to have to install just for this... >-/ )
PROBLEM: Executing hwinfo on my (fairly current) Debian
system triggers the stack-smash detector:
### mod ### e521:/tmp/ 242---> hwinfo
> floppy.1: get nvram*** stack smashing detected ***: hwinfo terminated
Segmentation fault
### mod ### e521:/tmp/ 243---> gdb hwinfo
