- *) In crypto/dh/dh_key.c, change generate_key() (the default
- implementation of DH_generate_key()) so that a new key is
- generated each time DH_generate_key() is used on a DH object.
-
- Previously, DH_generate_key() did not change existing keys
- -- but ssl/s3_srvr.c always expected it to do so (in effect,
- SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE was ignored in servers reusing the same SSL
- object for multiple connections; however, each new SSL object
- created from an SSL_CTX got its own key).
