RedHat 8.0 - trying to upgrade Apache

[grenoml <grenoml yahoo com>]

  There are some security holes with the version of Apache
webserver (httpd-2.0.40) that ships with RedHat 8.0.  There are also
security holes with regard to the RH8 OpenSSL version 0.96b (need 0.96h
or later to plug them).  There are also issues with Apache mod_jk2
versions that are only compatible with httpd-2.0.42 or .43.
  I ran up2date but there are only the same versions of these
applications available.  I would like to upgrade to at least OpenSSL
0.96h and Apache httpd-2.0.43 on my RH8 system to close these security
holes and to take advantage of mod_jk2 improvements.  How can I do this
and still retain the proper package dependencies in the RPM database? 
When I do a rpm -q --whatrequires on openssl I see a number of
packages.  If I just download the source for a newer version of openssl
and build it how do I install it and not mess things up in the RPM
world?

Thanks,
Gerry Reno
