@michael@westergaard.social @xrobau@mastodon.au (Regarding the MikroTik vulnerability mentioned recently):
As far as I can tell:
- if you don't use RSA keys, there is no problem
- if you use RSA keys generated with the commonest exponent, 65537, there is no problem (ssh-keygen uses 65537)
- if you don't use public keys, there is no problem (except that you are not using public keys :-) )
- if the public key you use is not known to the attacker, there is no problem
- if the MikroTik device is not reachable by the attacker, there is no problem

@kauer@aus.social @michael@westergaard.social the other vulnerabilities are fixed in the current update, after their first one. Tftpd was, and mactelnet potentially was. Dhcpd was, too.
