The first patch release for v1.38 updates the version of OpenSSL included in our static builds and Docker images to v1.1.1t, to resolve a few moderate security vulnerabilities in v1.1.1n.

The patch also includes the following minor bug fixes:

• We fixed the handling of dimensions with no data in a specific timeframe. When the metrics registry recorded a dimension as present in a specific timeframe, but the dimension did not have any data for that timeframe, the query engine would return random data that happened to be in memory.
• We fixed occasional crashes during shutdown when not using eBPF.
• We fixed the systemd service file handling on systems using a systemd version older than v235.
• We fixed build failures on FreeBSD 14 release candidates, FreeBSD < 13.1, and environments with Linux kernel version < 5.11.
