This update changes the broken default behavior of pam_pwhistory to not enforce checks when the root user requests password changes. In order to enforce pwhistory checks on the root user, the โenforce_for_rootโ parameter needs to be set for the pam_pwhistory.so module.
This pam update fixes the following security and non-security issues :
Fixed pam_timestamp path injection problem.
(CVE-2014-2583). (bnc#870433)
Fixed pam_pwhistory root password enforcement when resetting non-root userโs password. (bnc#848417)
