>Description:

pam_u2f supports the debug and debug_file options to redirect output
to a file, syslog, stdout or stderr. However, you always get some
output written to stderr.

Reason is that pam_u2f calls fido_init() with the FIDO_DEBUG parameter
when it sees the debug option and libfido2 defaults to log debug
output to stderr. pam_u2f should use fido_set_log_handler() to catch
the output and print it according to the debug_file option.

The pam_u2f man page is also irritating as it describes a quoting
mechanism for options containing white space using square brackets.
OpenPAM however uses normal shell quoting rules, i.e. single or
double quotes.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try pam_u2f with the debug option.

>Fix:
	

>Unformatted:
