You can patch openssl version by using following steps but make sure that you are able to SSH server as root user user.
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#cd /usr/local/src
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#tar -zxf openssl-0.9.8h.tar.gz
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#cd openssl-0.9.8h
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#./Configure –prefix=/usr debug-linux-pentium (or choose right os)
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#make
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#make install
To check openssl version simply run openssl version
root@gunjan[/usr/local/src]#openssl version
