Dell Networking: OS10 weak ssh-rsa algorithm
Summary: The issue a weak ssh-rsa algorithm detected by nmap on Dell’s S4148F-ON switch running firmware version 10.5.6.6. Customers reported this vulnerability and requested a solution to disable the weak algorithm. The security team confirmed that ssh-rsa is still supported in OpenSSH for backward compatibility but recommended removing it from the default list. ...

Symptoms
- Nmap scan tool detects weak ssh-rsa algorithm being used
- The customer is unable to find the OS10 command to disable the algorithm.
Cause
The root cause is the presence of the ssh-rsa algorithm in the list of supported algorithms of server host key, which is considered weak and vulnerable.
Resolution
Fix Version: The target release for the fix is 10.6.0.2.
Workaround: Customers can use stronger host key algorithms like rsa-sha2-512 and ssh-ed25519.
Next Steps: Extend the ip ssh server CLI with a HostKeyAlgorithms option to configure the default algorithm.
