SSH id_rsa 4096 bit mis-flagged

[niteobot]

What happened?

The SSH encryption verifier appears to fail for 4096 RSA on my system.

Even though my id_rsa is in fact 4096, it reports it as using weak encryption.

This is on macOS 12.1 on a 2019 Intel MBP 16".

I should also note that my id_rsa is actually a symlink in the .ssh directory if that helps:

id_rsa -> id_rsa_openssh id_rsa.pub -> id_rsa_openssh.pub id_rsa_openssh id_rsa_openssh.pub

Version

1.6.29 - 3941

Relevant log output

ssh-keygen -l -f id_rsa | awk '{print $1}'
4096
