I'm running a CentOS 3.4 box. According to yum, the OpenSSL 0.9.7a-33.15 package I have installed is the latest available. A check of the OpenSSL website shows 0.9.7g source being the latest.

Is the CentOS 0.9.7a package patched to cover the same isues that the generic 0.9.7 source covers?

The "33.15" indicates the patchlevel of the OpenSSL package. Yes, Red Hat backports [1] fixes for issues. You can check the rpm --changelog for CAN numbers and comments. With other words, you don't need to get the upstream version to be on the safe side.
