the 'Users and Groups' tool were created with 3DES hashing. This
reduced the security of stored user passwords, and was a regression
from the correct MD5 hashing. This update fixes the problem; future
password changes will correct the hashing used. We apologize for the
inconvenience.

description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
