How can I disable the warning? apt doesn't seem to check the package version, openssl is already updated, also I'm afraid this will be an other message is using to send (r/linux message, Ubuntu Pro message, and now this # messages)

It's not a warning, it's an information. Just ignore it when you have updated.

Just in case for the community - [apt-news security notification messages may be too vague for users who are not extremely familiar with internal Ubuntu processes](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/2027929)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
