Hi,

There is a plan from CentOS to support OpenSSL 1.1.1 in future versions of CentOS 7 because openssl community has OpenSSL 1.1.1 which was released in Sep 2018 and it has fixed for many vulnerabilities.

And CentOS has 1.0.2k version.

Can you please update on this?

There is no plan as CentOS is not the place that decides these things. CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL and rebuilds and ships those things that make up RHEL. It doesn't go off and unilaterally decide to upgrade a core component of the operating system just because it's new and shiny.

If you want it in CentOS then it has to go into RHEL first.
