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.

Regards,

JMB
