Yeah, but... that's not really the "usual procedure" though. Nobody who knows what they are doing literally downloads openssl manually, compiles the new shared library, manually installs it, and manually restarts the affected services, on the grounds that if you do that you have just proved you don't know what you are doing. (Most charitably, you're doing a "Linux From Scratch" for educational purposes, but that's just about the only valid reason.) Once you have introduced package management and/or system management tools, it doesn't seem like a significantly different problem anymore, and likely to be utterly swamped by the other bigger problems that appear at scale.

No, you update the shared library using your distribution's package manager and then restart the affected services using one of the small scripts for that purpose.

What's the issue with that?
