After updating to Fedora 37 beta, I was not able to login to a device that uses rsa to authenticate anymore.

The message shown is: "Bad server host key: Invalid key length"

My wild guess would be this commit [0] fom the crypto-policies package requiring at least 2048-bit RSA key:

# grep RSAMinSize /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/*
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/openssh.config:RSAMinSize 2048
/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensshserver.config:RSAMinSize 2048

# rpm -q crypto-policies
crypto-policies-20220815-1.gite4ed860.fc37.noarch

Given that the remote side appears to use dropbear (so it might be some smaller embedded system), I suspect
the key might be smaller than 2048-bits.

Check if you can connect to the remote side with the LEGACY policy:

# update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY
# ssh ...
