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
