This bug affects me, too. As user (WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate), it yields output an terminates correctly. But 'su lshw' yields the crash and the reported error message: *** stack smashing detected ***: lshw terminated
I found the same behaviour with xpaint when moving a selected region and reported the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpaint/+bug/1440115 Maybe this is related and shows a general problem with Vivid - so I would be interested if others can reproduce this bug, too. It this is related, maybe this even affects security ... so an experienced devoloper should look after that issue.
