No, just re-install the image named version 2.5.8 as found on Amazon.

When TLS/SSL update was released, it was a separate download.
After some number of months, Amazon took down those packages and just added them into fw 2.5.8 -- here is the fun part: They did not change the version number.

I.E: What is posted now as 2.5.8 is not what it once was.
Those who are missing the TLS/SSL fix (or parts of it) should just "re-install" 2.5.8 using the Amazon packages now posted.
That is Amazon's unannounced "hotfix" for 2.5.8
