lib/libcrypto/dh: dh_key.c
Log message:
Reject excessively large primes in DH key generation. Problem reported
by Guido Vranken to OpenSSL (https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/6457)
and based on his diff. suggestions from tb@, ok tb@ jsing@
"During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a key
for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This could be
exploited in a Denial Of Service attack."
