Title:
  /usr/bin/w:11:print_host:print_from:showinfo:main

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in procps source package in Noble:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * Running `w -s` crashes. Segmentation fault. It only crashes when
  there are users in `w` output.

  [ Test Plan ]

  * Launch a noble vm. If run `w` doesn't show any user (for example the shell 
is launched by lxc exec), then run `login -f root` to populate a user in `w` 
output.
  * Install the version from -proposed, and run `w -hs`. It shouldn't crash.
  * Run other `w` options, like without `-s`, and combine `-s` with other 
options as well. They all shouldn't crash.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  * The backported patch only affects the `w` utility in procps. The
  tests should cover most options of `w` utility.

  [ Original description ]

  Running `w -hs` crashes.
