Yes, but painful.
You need to get a recent, up to date, version of Linux-PAM.
I fixed this bug after 0.75 was released (around version 0.76 of Linux-PAM),
so the only way is to get the real thing.
But, then you will have to rewrite all you pam configs as redhat uses
non-standart hacks in their pam (mainly pam_stack.so).

You can get it at:
