<para>
You should update OpenSSL when a new version which fixes vulnerabilities
is announced. The releases run in series, with a letter for each release
after the initial release (e.g. 1.1.1, 1.1.1a, 1.1.1b, etc). Because LFS
installs only the shared libraries, there is no need to recompile packages
which link to <filename class="libraryfile">libcrypto.so</filename> or
<filename class="libraryfile">libssl.so</filename>
<emphasis>when upgrading in the same series.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
However, any running programs linked to those libraries need to be stopped
and restarted. Read the related entries in
<xref linkend='pkgmgmt-upgrade-issues'/> for details.
