Upgrade Debian:unstable pam to version 1.0.1-10 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.
Linux-PAM before 1.0.4 does not enforce the minimum password age (MINDAYS) as specified in /etc/shadow, which allows local users to bypass intended security policy and change their passwords sooner than specified.
