how can i upgrade openssh on old 7.3 box

i have an ancient redhat 7.3 box that as far as i can tell has vulnerable openssh installation.

i ran 'up2date openssh' and got this version:

SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_3.1p1

im under the impression that some of the bug fixes i need are not backported since 7.3 is not supported.

do i need to 'rpm -e' my openssh rpms and then download and compile from source?

or is there a better way?

thx for the help.
