Topic

Updated pam_passwdqc packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The pam_passwdqc packages provide a simple password strength checking module for
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) aware password changing programs, such as
passwd(1). In addition to checking regular passwords, the module offers support
for passphrases and can provide randomly generated passwords. All the features
of the module are optional and can be reconfigured without rebuilding.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the pam_passwdqc man page contained an unclear description of the

relationship between the minimum password length and complexity. Consequently,
users of this PAM module reading the man page could misinterpret the actual
requirements for sufficiently secure passwords. With this update, a detailed
description of the required password complexity for various lengths has been
provided in the man page, and as a result, the documentation is no longer
ambiguous. (BZ#889545)

Users of pam_passwdqc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
