Description

Mesos SSL based on libevent >2.1.5beta fails to function properly. Depending on the underlying open SSL version, failures happen on accept or on receive.
The issue has been properly described https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-7076. We landed a workaround by bundling libevent 2.0.22. This ticket is meant to track further analysis of the true reason for the issue - so we fix it, instead of relying on a hard to maintain bandaid.
