Applies to: Centrify DirectAudit 2.0.0 on Linux platforms
Problem:
When the playback of the session is executed, the playback will show an "Unexpected error" after the command that corrupted the bash display.
An error similar to the one below is shown:

<---end error-->
Cause:
A linux bash session is being audited and when a command is executed on a binary file, the Bash session display becomes corrupted.
Commands entered in this state will execute correctly.
Playback of a Linux session where the shell was corrupted causes an exception because the emulator(VT100) cannot recognize the file encode format, so the emulator serializer will corrupt the data.
Workaround:
Upgrade to Centrify DirectAudit 2.0.2-118 or higher
