You are correct. However there were two security releases after this
update. I still lean towards installing OpenSSL 0.9.7e directly from the OpenSSL web
site. However, there may be a further release through the FC Updates site. In order to
properly install the direct download, I would have to rpm -e (or yum remove) the installed
rpm from FC and then install (and hope I don't break anything) the OpenSSL code. This
is an "advantage" of living on the "Bleeding Edge".
Or: you could build an RPM of openssl 0.9.7e and rpm -Uvh that. You could try
getting the SRPM for the FC3 openssl, swapping the 0.9.7e source in in place
of the 0.9.7a source and removing the patches, then build it.
