Can we update the openssl to 1.1.1n

quite possibly.. should be able to use the packages from 15.0 patches (should be compatible)
i586:
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... ck15.0.txz
x86_64:
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... ck15.0.txz
just download, convert to module (txz2xzm) and put in your modules directory, reboot..

Got it from here

the only thing about using the 'current' repo for rc3 is that openssl is now compiled against a newer glibc(2.35 : 2.33), which may(or may not) be a problem... that's why i suggested 15.0 patches..
so here: https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackwar ... /packages/
also, you should get the openssl-solibs package too..
