Those package names told me I could have a look at
http://deb.sury.org, and sure enough, there was something there, with
a PPA link: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/

You can see the full (I assume) list of available packages there, and
for OpenSSL, I find these:

1.1.1-2+ubuntu18.10.1+deb.sury.org+2
1.1.1-2+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+2
1.1.1-2+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+2
1.1.1-2+ubuntu14.04.1+deb.sury.org+2

So it looks to me like you're being forced to upgrade.  Note that
1.1.1 is forward compatible with 1.1.0h, so that upgrade should go
smoothly.

Cheers,
Richard
