File openssh-6.6p1-disable_short_DH_parameters.patch of Package openssh-askpass-gnome.10219
# HG changeset patch # Parent b9a947800a419ae7050d6e15eb6606ee0505d041 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.
