Sean:

FWIW, something as critical as openssl SHOULD be installed from verified
source and compiled on your system.  RPM's should NEVER be trusted for
something as important as critical encryption resources on your system used
for ssh & ssl.  Also, remember to verify the source, checksums and clean up
after compiling!

Compiling openssl isn't as difficult as you may think and the instructions
on the web site are very clear and easy to follow.
