Researchers identified a cryptographic vulnerability in the wild where 'short-sleeve' RSA and DSA keys contain heavily biased zero bits, allowing rapid factorization using polynomial-based cryptanalysis. The flaw was traced to a type mismatch in the key generation code of older CompleteFTP versions, prompting the release of detection and remediation tools.
