The current libdes reads passwords from stdin:

     des_read_password writes the string specified by prompt to
     the standard output, turns off echo (if possible) and reads
     an input string from standard input until terminated with a
     newline.

I propose that it be changed to use /dev/tty instead of stdin/stdout.
