# HG changeset patch
# Parent  c924f46e3639b3646e42dd7505c206d43d7180fa

Raise minimal size of DH group parameters to 2048 bits like upstream did in
7.2. 1024b values are believed to be in breaking range for state adversaries
and the default moduli shipped with openssh have been around long enough to
make it more likely for them to be broken.

Also provide an option that allows the client to accept shorter (RFC4419
compliant) parameters.

CVE-2015-4000 (LOGJAM)
bsc#932483
