The Coolstack and the Webstack both use the system's SSL bindings.
Coolstack symlinks it:         libssl.so.0.9.7 =>       /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jul 13  2009 /opt/coolstack/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 -> /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7

while webstack links it directly:         libcrypto.so.0.9.7 =>    /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

Both Coolstack and GlassFish Web Stack are irrelevant to this
discussion as they do not provide OpenSSL.  (As a completely separate
issue, there's no reason to expect a generally available update from
either of them.)

Solaris 10 is apparently stuck at OpenSSL 0.9.7 + a growing number of
back-ported security fixes.

Didn't coolstack officially die?  It's been replaced by glassfish 
IIRC...  As such, it's not a good example
