Description

Do not allow users to reuse recent passwords. This can be accomplished by using the remember option for the pam_pwhistory PAM modules.

In the file /etc/pam.d/common-password, make sure the parameters remember and use_authtok are present, and that the value for the remember parameter is 5 or greater. For example:

password requisite pam_pwhistory.so ...existing_options... remember=5 use_authtok

The DoD STIG requirement is 5 passwords.

Rationale

Preventing re-use of previous passwords helps ensure that a compromised password is not re-used by a user.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
