*GnuTLS* clients with less than 1024-bit DH are not allowed
This change prevents GNU Transport Layer Security (GnuTLS) clients from connecting to servers with Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters less than 1024 bits. This ensures that allowed clients using *GnuTLS* are not vulnerable to attacks such as the LOGJAM attack.
A system administrator can enable shorter DH parameter support by modifying the "MinimumDHBits" option in the `/etc/pki/tls/legacy-settings`, for example:
echo 'MinimumDHBits 768' > /etc/pki/tls/legacy-settings
This option can be used to additionally raise the minimum if required by the system administrator.
