I wrote a tool to deal with just that problem.  If you go to

http://www.rhil.net/cgi-bin/whats_where.cgi

and put in

  libcrypto.so.4

you get

Found no RPMs containing libcrypto\.so\.4.

Ok, too specific.  Trim that to

  libcrypto.so

and you get

/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a is in openssl-0.9.7a-5.i386.rpm
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7a is in openssl-0.9.7a-5.i686.rpm
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is in openssl096-0.9.6-17.i386.rpm
/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6b is in openssl096b-0.9.6b-6.i386.rpm
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so is in openssl-devel-0.9.7a-5.i386.rpm

I would go for openssl-0.9.7a-5.i386.rpm.  You don't mention your RH
version, but for RH 9 that's on CD 1 (it's version 0.9.7a-2, but
that's ok).  Note that it comes in an i386 version or i686 version.
Run

  uname -m

to see which to use.

Now for libssl, it is in the same RPM.  You can just install that rpm,
and then update httpd, or you can do it all at one swell foop:

rpm -Uvh httpd-2*.rpm openssl-0.9.7a-*.i686.rpm

The "-U" means to update or install as appropriate.
