How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 pam.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pam package and not the pam package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The pam_userdb module for Pam uses a case-insensitive method to compare hashed passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to guess the password via a brute force attack.
