Thanks a lot David for testing.
It is important that we track this down and make sure it is not introducing a 
regression.

The related haproxy config would be:
"tune.ssl.default-dh-param <number>"
Sets the maximum size of the Diffie-Hellman parameters used to generate the 
ephemeral/temporary Diffie-Hellman key when using DHE key exchange. Default 
<number> value is 1024. Higher values increase CPU load and may not be 
supported by some clients (IE:Java 7).

That exactly is our case, and /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg hasn't changed.
In the default config this argument isn't set so it should still be 1024.


I set up an apache2 with (self signed) certs and enabled TLS1.0. That is old, 
but what you reported for your compat needs.
First I tested the apache itself with testssl.sh.
Your output in regard to the DH length seems to be from the PFS section.
I get here:
 DH group offered:            RFC3526/Oakley Group 14 (2048 bits)


Then I was configuring haproxy+ssl (pre-SRU) in front of apache2 and it gave me

Without the setting above haproxy gives me a nice warning of:
[WARNING] 269/070510 (32043) : Setting tune.ssl.default-dh-param to 1024 by 
default, if your workload permits it you should set it to at least 2048. Please 
set a value >= 1024 to make this warning disappear.

In regard to DH length in PFS in testssl both showed me:
 DH group offered:            HAProxy (1024 bits)

That is just as expected for now.
Upgrading to haproxy from proposed.

The PFS section now really did get bumped, in my case to:
 DH group offered:            RFC5114/2048-bit DSA group with 224-bit prime 
order subgroup (2048 bits)

The full diff of old/new haproxy build is
+ TLSv1.3 (good)
+ PFS (critical for the SRU):
  - changes cipher list
  - extened Elliptic curves
  - increased DH size 1024->2048
+ Some noise due to TLSv1.3 (ok)

One diff element also might shows the a potential this increased.
old:
 LOGJAM (CVE-2015-4000), experimental      VULNERABLE (NOT ok): common prime: 
HAProxy (1024 bits),
new:
 LOGJAM (CVE-2015-4000), experimental      common prime with 2048 bits 
detected: RFC5114/2048-bit DSA group with 224-bit prime order subgroup (2048 
bits),
The USN [1] indicated this was solved by disabling "DH EXPORT ciphers", so it 
shouldn't be a real issue. 
But chances are that the newer openssl has a new "minimum DH size" for security 
reasons in regard to CVE-2015-4000.


Checking workaround by setting an explicit max key in the config ...
=> didn't work still size 2048.
So there is a new minimum in place enforced by the new openssl since/due-to the 
rebuild.

Attaching the testssl logs ...

@Ubuntu-security: is the bump of offered DH keys something known/expected with 
rebuilds against the newer OpenSSL for the CVE found or others?
If it is, is this a wanted change considering the breakage of some old clients 
as reported above?

Title:
  Rebuild haproxy with openssl 1.1.1 will change features (bionic)

Status in haproxy package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in haproxy source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * openssl 1.1.1 has been backported to Bionic for its longer
     support upstream period

   * That would allow the extra feature of TLSv1.3 in some consuming
     packages what seems "for free". Just with a no change rebuild it would
     pick that up.

  [Test Case]

   * run "haproxy -vv" and check the reported TLS versions to include
  1.3

  [Regression Potential]

   * This should be low, the code already runs against the .so of the newer
     openssl library. This would only make it recognize the newer TLS
     support.
     i'd expect more trouble as-is with the somewhat big delta between what
     it was built against vs what it runs with than afterwards.
   * [1] and [2]  indicate that any config that would have been made for
     TLSv1.2 [1] would not apply to the v1.3 as it would be configured in
     [2].
     It is good to have no entry for [2] yet as following the defaults of
     openssl is the safest as that would be updated if new insights/CVEs are
     known.
     But this could IMHO be the "regression that I'd expect", one explcitly
     configured the v1.2 things and once both ends support v1.3 that might
     be auto-negotiated. One can then set "force-tlsv12" but that is an
     administrative action [3]
   * Yet AFAIK this fine grained control [2] for TLSv1.3 only exists in
     >=1.8.15 [4] and Bionic is on haproxy 1.8.8. So any user of TLSv1.3 in
     Bionic haproxy would have to stay without that. There are further 
     changes to TLS v1.3 handling enhancements [5] but also fixes [6] which 
     aren't in 1.8.8 in Bionic.
     So one could say enabling this will enable an inferior TLSv1.3 and one
     might better not enable it, for an SRU the bar to not break old 
     behavior is intentionally high - I tried to provide as much as possible 
     background, the decision is up to the SRU team.

  [Other Info]

   * If this is nack'ed we will need an upload that prevents to enable
     TLSv1.3 to avoid enabling it by accident on e.g. a security update.

  ---

  haproxy needs to be rebuilt after #1797386 to take advantage of
  TLSv1.3.

  (If that's not desirable for some reason, then maybe TLSv1.3 should be
  actively disabled to avoid any surprises in case of a future bug fix
  release.)
