            Bug ID: 3385
           Summary: prints CR from comment which leads to unreliable
                    output
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.8p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh-keygen
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: glebfm at altlinux.org

$ rm -f test*; ./ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -C test at test -N '' -f test
$ ./ssh-keygen -l -f test.pub 
3072 SHA256:Fh8V9v/JyBFlGI0ZqvWMb6480Ldm9dF0XJGTZFnoosI test at test (RSA)
$ unix2dos -q test.pub
$ ./ssh-keygen -l -f test.pub 
 (RSA)HA256:Fh8V9v/JyBFlGI0ZqvWMb6480Ldm9dF0XJGTZFnoosI test at test

Looks like this happens because ssh-keygen treats CR byte as a part of
the comment.

$ read -r key < test.pub
$ printf '%s\r9999 SHA256:deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdea
good at key\n' "$key" > bad.pub
$ ./ssh-keygen -l -f bad.pub 
9999 SHA256:deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdea good at key (RSA)
$ ./ssh-keygen -l -f bad.pub | less
3072 SHA256:rDIBjjZQEjZTzR3GIp/KERSlnMtsxeFrAbeye6TRoI0 test at test^M9999
SHA256:deadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdeadbeefdea good at key (RSA)


git bisect shows that the c56a255162c2166884539c0a1f7511575325b477
commit introduced this regression.
