Title:
  crypt password is printed in plain text

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Used Ubuntu version is Ubuntu Server 11.10 64-bit.
  It's newly installed, i didn't modify anything on the kernel or initrd or such things. I created the whole disk setup with the Ubuntu Server Installer.
  This is my setup: I have 4 HDDs, 3 of them are in a RAID 5. On top of the Raid, there is a cryptsetup layer. Inside of the cryptsetup is a LVM. The fourth HDD includes the encrypted operating system as well as GRUB (uncrypted /boot) and the MBR.
  So at startup i am being first asked the password for my ubuntu-HDD (sdd2). A first error is, that there are asterisks for every letter I type. That's not really a disastrous bug, but should be fixed too.
  But then the real bug occures, after I entered my crypt password for sdd2_crpyt, I am asked for the crpyt password for my encrypted Raid. And the whole password is printed in PLAIN TEXT! (see screenshot)
  Everything works, I can boot up properly after entering the password, but it really shouldn't be printed in plain text!
  If I type in some letters and then delete them with backspace, it looks like this:
  Enter passphrase: asdf\fdsa/
