I've done it by backporting following changes to poky (sorry for subject only):

openssh: upgrade 7.6p1 -> 7.7p1
openssh: drop sshd support for DSA host keys
openssh: stop adding -D__FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to CFLAGS
openssh: drop RCONFLICTS for openssh-keygen
openssh: minor indent cleanup for sshd init script
openssh: sync local ssh_config + sshd_config files with upstream 7.7p1
openssh: only create sshd host keys which have been enabled
openssh: update from 7.7p1 to 7.8p1
openssh: upgrade 7.8p1 -> 7.8p1+git to support openssl 1.1.x
openssl-1.1: rework packaging
openssl-1.1: /etc/ssl location compatibility
openssl: minor reformatting to align the 1.0 and 1.1 recipes
openssl: move the libdir openssl.cnf symlink into the openssl package
openssl: fix path in nativesdk environment-setup script
openssl: drop obsolete no-afalgeng workaround for aarch64
openssl: fix hardcoded paths in native for openssl 1.1
openssl: remove dependency on relative_symlinks class
openssl: rename openssl 1.0.x to openssl10 and make openssl 1.1.x the default version
openssl: update to 1.1.1
openssl: do not tweak so names, use PRIVATE_LIBS instead
openssl: Handle -conf package file conflicts
openssl: rename PV to 1.1.1~pre9 to avoid future versions from going backwards
openssl_1.1.1: Fix Musl build by disabling async during configure
openssl: update to 1.1.1 final
openssl10: fix compile error for debian-mips64
openssl: skip ptest case `test_symbol_presence'
openssl: use deterministic perl Text::Template module bundled by openssl source
openssl: correct license comment
openssl: fix ptest
openssl: do an out-of-tree build
openssl: fix CVE-2018-0734 for both 1.0.2p and 1.1.1
openssl: fix CVE-2018-0735 for 1.1.1
openssl-1.1.1: remove build path from version info
openssl: update to 1.1.1a
openssl: correct bad path on package preprocess
python3{,-native}: backport openssl 1.1.1 compatibility changes
python3: fix openssl 1.1.1 changes
cryptodev-tests: port to openssl 1.1

Plus a patch to allow overriding openssl version in default-versions.inc,
and one hack to drop perl RDEPENDS from openssl-bin. This is still missing
the latest CVEs and letter releases.

Then meta-openembedded needed at least:

asio: Upgrade to 1.12.1
mailx: support openssl 1.1.x
cyrus-sasl: add UPSTREAM_CHECK_REGEX
cyrus-sasl: CLEANBROKEN = "1"
cyrus-sasl: Update to 2.1.27-rc7
cyrus-sasl: do not set CLEANBROKEN
cyrus-sasl: fix build out of source tree failed while configuring with `--enable-ldapdb'
cyrus-sasl: fix parallel build issue

I could submit these too if someone wants to setup a communit maintenance branch for sumo.

Cheers,
