Updating OpenSSL on CentOS 7

Download and extract the OpenSSL tarball, then change into its directory

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.4.0.tar.gz  
tar -zxvf openssl-3.4.0.tar.gz  
cd openssl-3.4.0  

Configure the build

./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl shared zlib

At this point, you may encounter the following error:

Can't locate IPC/Cmd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /data/install_package/openssl-3.4.0/util/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 . /data/install_package/openssl-3.4.0/external/perl/Text-Template-1.56/lib) at /data/install_package/openssl-3.4.0/util/perl/OpenSSL/config.pm line 19.

Resolve the missing Perl module by installing perl-CPAN and the IPC::Cmd module
```
sudo yum install perl-CPAN -y  
sudo cpan install IPC::Cmd  
```
Compile and install OpenSSL
```
make -j$(nproc)  
sudo make install  
```

Update the system’s library path and reload the linker configuration

echo "/usr/local/openssl/lib64" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl-3.conf  
sudo ldconfig

Verify the installed OpenSSL version
```
/usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl version
```
