Hello,

I'm happy to announce that Linux-PAM 1.5.1 has been released.

Noteworthy changes in Linux-PAM 1.5.1:

* pam_unix: fixed CVE-2020-27780 - authentication bypass when a user
            doesn't exist and root password is blank
* pam_faillock: added nodelay option to not set pam_fail_delay
* pam_wheel: use pam_modutil_user_in_group to check for the group membership
             with getgrouplist where it is available
