You can use SSL_SESSION_get_master_key() for this.

Note this comment in the RETURN VALUES section:

"For the other functions, if outlen is greater than 0 then these
functions return the number of bytes actually copied, which will be less
than or equal to outlen. If outlen is 0 then these functions return the
maximum number of bytes they would copy -- that is, the length of the
underlying field."

So to discover the master_key_length call the function with outlen to
zero. You can then allocate an appropriate sized buffer and call the
function again in order to get the actual master key.
