How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable pam to version 0.76-6 or higher.

NVD Description

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

PAM 0.76 treats a disabled password as if it were an empty (null) password, which allows local and remote attackers to gain privileges as disabled users.
