"Users are recommended to upgrade to 4.2.3 to avoid this flaw when using the 
packages provided from www.libreoffice.org which include a bundled copy of 
openssl."

However, we build from sources and use the system libraries.

huettel@porto ~ $ lsof|grep soffice|grep libssl
soffice.b 31006          huettel  mem       REG                8,1     423840   
795269 /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
