Hmm.

If you are refering to the standard ones in C6 you should be able to
just yum-downgrade it.

A quick test on my desktop:
[root at main-linux-box ~]# yum downgrade *mod_ssl*
Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities,
security, : verify

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Ignoring the Dep errors, it seems to be all there :-).

You can get v2.2.15-28 (current) here:
http://mirror.ovh.net/ftp.centos.org/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/mod_ssl-2.2.15-28.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm

and v2.2.15-26 (previous) here:
http://mirror.ovh.net/ftp.centos.org/6.4/os/x86_64/Packages/mod_ssl-2.2.15-26.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm

Hope this helps :-).
