RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: httpd-2.2.15-32.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The mod_ssl module only supported ephemeral DH keys of 512 and 1024 bit lengths. Consequence: Due to this limitation, SSL ciphersuites using ephemeral DH keys could not be used with mod_ssl FIPS mode was enabled. Fix: mod_ssl will now use ephemeral DH keys with lengths up to 8192 bits. Result: mod_ssl can now correctly operate under FIPS mode.

Description Tomas Mraz 2014-03-03 11:59:12 UTC 
httpd must support >1024 bit DH group sizes at least when the openssl is running in the FIPS mode. Otherwise the https server would not be compliant with the FIPS security policy of the OpenSSL FIPS module.

There is already support for >1024 bit DH group sizes in apache-2.4.x.
