<http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-160.html> contain the latest
patches.
Back patching was required by RedHat for compatibility with existing
software. The "openssl-0.9.6e" version that everyone is talking about is the
tarball version from openssl.org.  I can see how many RedHat users may be
confused on first glance...

Here is a list of the latest patched versions from RedHat:

openssl-0.9.6b-28
openssl095a-0.9.5a-18
openssl096-0.9.6-13
openssl-0.9.5a-29
openssl-0.9.6-13

Do a "rpm -qa | grep openssl" and compare your redhat package version to one
of these.

After installing the latest openssl rpm... you can check for yourself to see
that the patches have been applied:
"rpm -q --changelog openssl | more"

with respect to vulnerabilities of the  slapper worm, I'm kind of confused
on how to do that, since I've downloaded and compiled OpenSSL.
