No, the solution is to disable TLS heartbeats.
I actually wanted to bring this up when I recently noticed that OpenSSL
still enables the heartbeat extension by default in every clienthello

In the whole Heartbleed aftermath nobody was ever able to tell me where
TLS Heartbeats are used. It's a feature in order to have a feature.
