How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 libuser to version 0:0.56.13-4.el6_0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

libuser before 0.57 uses a cleartext password value of (1) !! or (2) x for new LDAP user accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by specifying one of these values.
