UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
i dont know if the bug is a bash bug or openssl or echo, but when i
echo a string and pipe it to openssl, the
output comes on the same line as the prompt instead of a new line. it makes
the output hard to read because it is prepended
to the prompt text, e.g. mySecretPasswordtcadmin@buildserver: ~$
Repeat-By:
1. run the following code in bash terminal:
echo OHBjcWNLNGlQaVF5 | openssl base64 -d
2. the output in the bash terminal looks like this:
mySecretPasswordtcadmin@buildserver: ~$
3. the output SHOULD look like this:
mySecretPassword
tcadmin@buildserver: ~$
