Description

  • Security scanner application detects the vulnerability "SSH Server Public Key Too Small" against Brocade FOS.
  • RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered vulnerable. Brocade recommends to install a RSA public key length of 2048 bits.
  • sshutil showhostkey command shows that RSA bit is less than 2048 bits:
