vlefebvre 104d601657 unix-chkpwd: Add read capability to profile
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].
