1.290 RHEL-10-600730

Information

RHEL 10 must employ FIPS 140-3-approved cryptographic hashing algorithms for all stored passwords.

GROUP ID: V-281221RULE ID: SV-281221r1166615

The system must use a strong hashing algorithm to store the password.

Passwords must be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily compromised.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000073-GPOS-00041, SRG-OS-000120-GPOS-00061

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to employ FIPS 140-3-approved cryptographic hashing algorithms for all stored passwords.

Lock all interactive user accounts not using SHA-512 hashing until the passwords can be regenerated with SHA-512.
