cryptsetup writes visibly to stdout when using bootsplash input

[David Rekowski]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I enter the password for an encrypted device at boottime after being prompted to. Afterwards I see the boot output because a module compile failed. Then I notice that the password I entered is still visible on the screen.

I expect the password to be hidden!

Ubuntu 8.10

crypttab:
home /dev/sda5 none luks,retry=1,cipher=aes-lrw-benbi:sha256

This is a duplicate of bug #55159.

still, I haven't found out how to reproduce it. It doesn't echo the passphrase for me. :/

It is indeed a duplicate of bug #55159, which I didn't find before I filed this bug.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start computer with encrypted partition
2) On bootsplash promt, enter the password
3) Switch to console (Ctrl + Alt + F1), it's either there or on tty7 (Ctrl + Alt + F7) or tty8 (Ctrl + Alt + F8)

Result: you see the entered password
