[Bug 1260230] [NEW] Memory leak in libcrypto.so\libssl.so

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've found a bug in openssl 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10. Was trying to use
libpq\libmysql.so to connect to database and did not specify sslmode so
it used ssl to connect to database, when i've checked with valgrind i've
detected some memory leak:
