I want to know whether this vulnerability affect 1.0.2a. I notice "Affected 1.0.2b-1.0.2o" in OpenSSL vulnerabilities.html page.

Thanks for drawing our attention to that. That is a typo (now fixed). 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a are affected.

We have no release-date scheduled. If a CVE comes up, that could force a release. Otherwise ... shrug.

When will OpenSSL 1.0.2p be released? We need this version to fix the vulnerability CVE-2018-0737.

As per the comment above from @richsalz we have no release data scheduled. CVE-2018-0737 is considered low severity and therefore most people can wait until the next release (whenever that is) to get the fix. If you must have the fix earlier than that then there is always the option of applying the patch from this commit manually.

Does this the issue this fixes (CVE-2018-0737) exist in the FIPS crypto module as well? If so, will it get fixed?

Sorry, but we are not touching the existing FIPS code.
