ARM Limited reports:

In order to strengthen the minimum requirements for connections and to protect against the Logjam attack, the minimum size of Diffie-Hellman parameters accepted by the client has been increased to 1024 bits.

In addition the default size for the Diffie-Hellman parameters on the server are increased to 2048 bits. This can be changed with ssl_set_dh_params() in case this is necessary.
