Title: SUSE-SU-2014:0631-1 -- Security update for pam
Description: 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 "enforce_for_root" parameter needs to be set for the pam_pwhistory.so module. This pam update fixes the following security and non-security issues: * bnc#870433: Fixed pam_timestamp path injection problem (CVE-2014-2583) * bnc#848417: Fixed pam_pwhistory root password enforcement when resetting non-root user's password
