It's not the binary.

That depends on whether your tor binary is build with shared libraries;
'otool -L path/to/your/tor' will show which libraries it uses.

(Apart from that the Macos libraryes may be patched by apple
from the original openssl.org versions.)

Install new versions of the openssl libs as soon as apple provides
them when you use the ones from the system. Then you (probably)
need to recompile tor itself and make sure that it references the
proper version of openssl libraries.

tor, when started, also tells the openssl version in the first message.

You may also download and compile openssl yourself and link
against that version, but I can't just write down how to
do that - there are some macos specials to find out to do
that, and I didn't yet.
