CentOS - Jun 2014 - Upgrading openssl to openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.7.x86_64

Hi,

Can we upgrade the OpenSSL version on earlier CentOS Versions 6.2/6.3/6.4
with the latest Openssl version which has all the latest openssl
vulnerability fixes from Cent OS repo.

Will there be any dependency with the openssl version with CentOS versions
upgrading openssl 1.0.0 to openssl 1.0.1e latest version.

Can we upgrade with the latest OPENSSL version on older CentOS Versions as
there are no updates from CentOS for the older versions of openssl's.

Thanks,
Srikanth

6.2, 6.3, 6.4 are not centos 'versions', the version is CentOS 6.. 6.2 
etc are just snapshots of the state of it at that point in time with no 
further patches.

yes, you probably can just install openssl updates, yum update 
openssl...  but such a mix of older packages with newer isn;t 100% 
tested (there's far too many possible combinations to test).
