Description
In /etc/libuser.conf
, add or correct the following line in its
[defaults]
section to ensure the system will use the SHA-512
algorithm for password hashing:
Rationale
Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard
method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can
be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised. Passwords that
are encrypted with a weak algorithm are no more protected than if they are
kepy in plain text.
This setting ensures user and group account administration utilities are
configured to store only encrypted representations of passwords.
Additionally, the crypt_style
configuration option ensures the use
of a strong hashing algorithm that makes password cracking attacks more
difficult.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if rpm --quiet -q libuser; then
LIBUSER_CONF="/etc/libuser.conf"
CRYPT_STYLE_REGEX='[[:space:]]*\[defaults](.*(\n)+)+?[[:space:]]*crypt_style[[:space:]]*'
# Try find crypt_style in [defaults] section. If it is here, then change algorithm to sha512.
# If it isn't here, then add it to [defaults] section.
if grep -qzosP $CRYPT_STYLE_REGEX $LIBUSER_CONF ; then
sed -i "s/\(crypt_style[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*\).*/\1sha512/g" $LIBUSER_CONF
elif grep -qs "\[defaults]" $LIBUSER_CONF ; then
sed -i "/[[:space:]]*\[defaults]/a crypt_style = sha512" $LIBUSER_CONF
else
echo -e "[defaults]\ncrypt_style = sha512" >> $LIBUSER_CONF
fi
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
