Oops! I made a mistake with part 2. 2. I'm not familiar with that package, but it probably doesn't fix the recent Linux Slapper worm. Have a look at the package info with "rpm -qip openssl-0.9.6c-2.i386". If the build date is before 30th July 2002 it won't. That is the date of release of openssl-0.9.6e, which according to CERT is the version that will fix it.
I can't get into the openssl site at the moment to check anything else.
