Public bug reported: According to the XML 1.0 standard, these are the characters allowed between tags:
Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] For reference purposes, here is the direct link to the W3 standard: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#charsets The problem is that the lshw escape function only generates entities from special characters, such as "<", ">" and "&". However, it lets characters outside the allowed set to result in the output. For example, here is output I have encountered recently from the serial number of a CDROM device (where ^@ is a NUL character): <serial>[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] DVD RW AD-7200S 1.04 Dec21,2007</serial> I have attached a patch which should solve the problem by removing invalid characters altogether. ** Affects: lshw (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- lshw -xml reporting invalid xml https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241675 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
