I don't think it will, for a couple of reasons. OpenSSL is integrated into other services as a library, while bash would be called as an external application. I also noticed that once I upgraded bash, the proof of concept stopped working in a terminal I opened prior to the upgrade.

[citation needed] because that doesn't sound possible.

Not if the issued commands spawned a new copy of Bash.
