This is a server-side configuration, I suppose an exception could be
added ... but this is for Infra to decide.

It's actually a bit worse than users not being notified. If you bundle
your own SSL library you must have a process in place to track security
fixes in said library. I suspect OpenSSL is not the only issue; for
example, AOO still uses Serf 1.2.1, which does not support the latest
OpenSSL, so you're effectively stuck with 1.02 and can't migrate to
1.1.0 unless you also upgrade Serf.
