Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150712
Category:	SSL and TLS
Title:	Weak (Small) Public Key Size(s) (SSH)
Summary:	The remote SSH server uses a weak (too small) public key; size.
Description:	Summary: The remote SSH server uses a weak (too small) public key size. Vulnerability Insight: - <= 1024 bit for RSA based keys: Best practices require that RSA digital signatures be 2048 or more bits long to provide adequate security. Key lengths of 1024 are considered deprecated since 2011. Vulnerability Impact: A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this vulnerability to record the communication to decrypt the session key and even the messages. Solution: - <= 1024 bit for RSA based keys: Install a RSA public key length of 2048 bits or greater, or to switch to more secure key types. CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:A/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N
