Keep in mind that first version of RHEL 6 was released 8 years ago and
since May 2017 is in Maintenance Level 2, that means:
Software Enhancements = No

Coming to the particular question of OpenSSL, originally was released with
1.0.0 in RHEL 6, then rebased to 1.0.1e in 2013 with RH EL 6.5 (but when
still in Full Support phase).
