Once you get the new and improved rpm file then just use -F to perform an upgrade. If there isn't an rpm available then you need to install OpenSSL via source. OpenSSL isn't the fastest software to compile, but it's not difficult. Be sure to REMOVE the existing OpenSSL rpm first. You do not want to have two different types of installation of the same software.
Here is alternative. If you aren't using OpenSSL why don't you just uninstall it? In fact, should it be installed in the first place if it's not being used?
