I'd recommend to update to jessie instead of trying to bringt decent
openssl to that release. I assume compiling and installing to /usr/local or
/opt shouldn't be an issue. Then you've to link your software with the TLS 1.2
requirement against this copy of openssl. If you really need it, that could be
a way to go.

Keep in mind that LTS support for squeeze will also run out at some point in a
not too distant future.
