Heikki Linnakangas c0a15e07cd Always use 2048 bit DH parameters for OpenSSL ephemeral DH ciphers.
1024 bits is considered weak these days, but OpenSSL always passes 1024 as
the key length to the tmp_dh callback. All the code to handle other key
lengths is, in fact, dead.

To remedy those issues:

* Only include hard-coded 2048-bit parameters.
* Set the parameters directly with SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh(), without the
  callback
* The name of the file containing the DH parameters is now a GUC. This
  replaces the old hardcoded "dh1024.pem" filename. (The files for other
  key lengths, dh512.pem, dh2048.pem, etc. were never actually used.)

This is not a new problem, but it doesn't seem worth the risk and churn to
backport. If you care enough about the strength of the DH parameters on
old versions, you can create custom DH parameters, with as many bits as you
wish, and put them in the "dh1024.pem" file.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
