Title:
  openssl 1.1.1 memory overuse/leak

Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"

  With dynamic linking libssl1.1 in nginx we see a lot memory use
  compared to libssl1.0.

  No memory overuse:
  ii  libssl1.1:amd64                       1.1.0g-2ubuntu4                   amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries

  2,5x memory overuse:
  ii  libssl1.1:amd64                       1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.4          amd64        Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries

  After some investigation from nginx team, they build nginx with static
  linking openssl with this patch, and this solved memory overuse issue
  https://git.openssl.org/?p=openssl.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2bb79a

  Can you please fix and rebuild openssl with this patch?

  Thanks!
