The pam_pwquality module’s enforce_for_root
parameter controls requirements for
enforcing password complexity for the root user. Enable the enforce_for_root
setting in /etc/security/pwquality.conf
to require the root
user
to use complex passwords.
Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.
Password complexity is one factor of several that determines how long it takes to crack a password. The more complex the password, the greater the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised.
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 pam; then
if [ -e "/etc/security/pwquality.conf" ] ; then
LC_ALL=C sed -i "/^\s*enforce_for_root/Id" "/etc/security/pwquality.conf"
else
touch "/etc/security/pwquality.conf"
fi
# make sure file has newline at the end
sed -i -e '$a\' "/etc/security/pwquality.conf"
cp "/etc/security/pwquality.conf" "/etc/security/pwquality.conf.bak"
# Insert at the end of the file
printf '%s\n' "enforce_for_root" >> "/etc/security/pwquality.conf"
# Clean up after ourselves.
rm "/etc/security/pwquality.conf.bak"
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
fi
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
