** Attachment added: "lshw patch"
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15480640/lshw.patch
** Changed in: lshw (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => lshw
** Description changed:
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 escapes 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
- driver (where ^@ is a NUL character):

Dec21,2007</serial>
I have attached a patch which should solve the problem by removing
invalid characters altogether.
