I’m trying to update from RHEL8 default openssl 1.1.1k to openssl 1.1.1w.
The compilation proceeded as follows.
tar xzf openssl-$OPENSSL.tar.gz
cd opensl-$OPENSSL
./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl shared zlib enable-md2
make & & make install

After that, I checked the version and it came out the same as openssl 1.1.1k

mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl_back
ln -s /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
I held the symbolic link with the command.

After that, I checked the version and it came up as OpenSSL 1.1.1w 11 Sep 2023 (Library: OpenSSL 1.1.1k FIPS 25 Mar 2021).

After Googling, I grabbed the link to libssl.so .1.1, libcrypto.so .1.1 and the version came out normally.
rm -rf libssl.so.1.1
rm -rf libcrypto.so.1.1
ln -s /usr/local/openssl/lib/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1
ln -s /usr/local/openssl/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1

However, only openssl appeared normally, and basic commands such as rpm, yum, and sudo began dont work

libk5crypto.so seems to be colliding, but if you do ldconfig, it works normally
but again, look at the openssl library 1.1.1k.

What should I do?
I’m trying to take action because openssl 1.1.1k has a vulnerability, but if I use 1.1.1w for openssl and look at 1.1.1k for the library, does the vulnerability solve?

After patching with openssl 1.1.1w, I grabbed the symbolic link.

I didn’t even need to grab a symbol link in the existing rhel 7 and 6 and I thought it would be fine because it was patched right away.
However, the rhel8 seems to be working a little differently than before.

When I grab the link, other commands won’t work and I’m wondering what to do.
