It is not possible to execute any openssl command, e.g., the following:

$ openssl version
openssl: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Referencing solutions for the issue and looking at the image layers on dockerhub, I can see a new command that not existed previously, that might have to do with this (line 59):

ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:
