pam_fprintd.so leaks memory when used for authentication on RHEL6
Issue
When setting the pam_fprintd.so, the amount of used memory for a process increased by repeating authentication.
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:
---
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth required pam_env.so
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so <--- Setting
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth required pam_deny.so
