Following the Security Technical Implementation Guide, it is better to set the permissions to 0000 for the shadow file. However, since PAM version 1.6.0, after this change [0], unix-chkpwd will unconditionnaly read the shadow file. And with the previous restriction, the binary has an access denied to the shadow which blocks user authentications. Moreover the PAM changes is needed to fix the CVE-2024-10041. Giving the read caability to the unix-chkpwd profile allows it to function properly. See bug report [1].
