I have not tested, but I think this is actually util-linux[1], and may
be fixed upstream by[2].

Title:
  TTY1 login prompt becomes unresponsive after arrow key and backspace
  input

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS, using the arrow key and backspace at the
  `tty1` login prompt breaks the prompt, preventing login.

  ## Steps to reproduce:
  1. Boot into Ubuntu Server (no GUI).
  2. Wait for the `tty1` login prompt.
  3. Press an arrow key (← or →).
  4. Press backspace to delete part of the line.
  5. Attempt to type a username and press Enter.

  ## Result:
  - The login prompt no longer accepts input or proceeds.
  - You cannot log in until the system is restarted.

  ## Expected behavior:
  - Arrow key and backspace input should be handled cleanly.
  - Login should still be possible.

  ## Notes:
  - This bug occurs on the text-based terminal (`tty1`) launched by `getty@tty1.service`, managed by systemd.
  - Kernel version: 6.8.0-60-generic
  - Affected version: Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS
