How To: List Hardware From The Terminal (lshw)
lshw‘. The manual helpfully defines it as:
[code]sudo lshw[/code]
[code]sudo lshw -C cpu[/code]
You may even be asked to use grep with it, such as:
[code]sudo lshw | grep wireless[/code]
[code]sudo lshw -short[/code]
[code]/1 wlxe4beed0e5f5c network Wireless interface[/code]
Now, if you want to refine it even further, why not try this:
[code]sudo lshw -short | grep network[/code]
[code]man lshw[/code]
or
[code]info lshw[/code]
Linux Foundation Support for Asian Communities
The Linux Foundation and its communities are deeply concerned about the rise in attacks against Asian Americans and condemn this violence. It is devastating to hear over and over again of the attacks and vitriol against Asian communities, which have increased substantially during the pandemic.
We stand in support with all those that have experienced this hate, and to the families of those who have been killed as a result. Racism, intolerance and inequality have no place in the world, our country, the tech industry or in open source communities.
We firmly believe that we are all at our best when we work together, treat each other with respect and equality and without hate or vitriol.

USN-4884-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities
not properly validate attributes in the getsockopt BPF hook. A local
attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2021-20194)
It was discovered that the priority inheritance futex implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3347)
It was discovered that the network block device (nbd) driver in the Linux
kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability during device setup. A
local attacker with access to the nbd device could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2021-3348)
USN-4883-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-27365)
Adam Nichols discovered that the iSCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly restrict access to iSCSI transport handles. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive information
(kernel pointer addresses). (CVE-2021-27363)
Adam Nichols discovered that an out-of-bounds read existed in the iSCSI
subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information (kernel
memory). (CVE-2021-27364)
