M4300 Certificates - 1024 2048 key size vulnerabilities

Hi all,

 

Currently running a few Netgear M4300 24 port switches, I have managed to get the certs installed however our vulnerability scanner is picking up a few problems with the key size as follows... and we have this being reported on both switches.

 

"The remote HTTP web server / application is missing to set the 'Secure' cookie attribute for
one or more sent HTTP cookie."

''The remote SSH Server uses a weak (too small) public key size'

"The remote SSL/TLS service is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability."

 

I am looking for some advice on upping the key size to 2048, if so any direction would be greatly appreciated

 

Switches are currently running 12.0.17.6 firmware

 

Thank you,

  • I am getting the same, looks like we are going to need a firmware upgrade to fix this one.

     

    "The remote HTTP web server / application is missing to set the 'Secure' cookie attribute for
    one or more sent HTTP cookie." - this should be enabled when HTTPS is on.

    ''The remote SSH Server uses a weak (too small) public key size' - this is SSH.

    "The remote SSL/TLS service is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability." - webserver again.
