Some people take care of it

# 18079 Update openssl to 1.0.2a  (closed 5 days ago)
# 17691 Update openssl to 1.0.2 (closed 2 months ago)
# 17132 Update openssl to 1.0.1j  (closed 5 months ago)
# 16454 Update openssl to 1.0.1h (closed 9 months ago)

But of course, I would recommend a system wide installation since Sage
does not have the manpower of a OS distribution.
