### Changes between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * Fix DH_check() excessive time with over sized modulus
+
+ The function DH_check() performs various checks on DH parameters. One of
+ those checks confirms that the modulus ("p" parameter) is not too large.
+ Trying to use a very large modulus is slow and OpenSSL will not normally use
+ a modulus which is over 10,000 bits in length.
+
+ However the DH_check() function checks numerous aspects of the key or
+ parameters that have been supplied. Some of those checks use the supplied
+ modulus value even if it has already been found to be too large.
+
+ A new limit has been added to DH_check of 32,768 bits. Supplying a
+ key/parameters with a modulus over this size will simply cause DH_check() to
+ fail.
