Why is this version of OpenSSL (1.0.1e) not vulnerable to Heartbleed?

Question

I recently ran into a requirement that needed a web server set up with SSL, to show that its possible to extract the private key from a server with a vulnerable version of OpenSSL (Heartbleed). Hence, I downloaded a version of Debian I knew that shipped with the vulnerable version of OpenSSL from here.

However after configuring it, it wasn't leaking anything (as reported by Metasploit).

Below is the output from openssl version -a:

OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/lib/ssl"

From what I know, versions between 1.0.1 through to 1.0.1f are vulnerable. I can see that it was built on a later date. My questions are:

1. Which compile option made it safe against Heartbleed? I don't see DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS flag option in the output above.

2. Where can I get a Debian version (7 or later) which actually ships with the vulnerable version of OpenSSL needed to demo Heartbleed.

As mentioned by @void_in, they backported the patch. Check your package version like so:

dpkg -l openssl

From 1.0.1e-2+deb7u5, the security patch has been included.:

openssl (1.0.1e-2+deb7u5) wheezy-security; urgency=high

• Non-maintainer upload by the Security Team.
• Add CVE-2014-0160.patch patch. CVE-2014-0160: Fix TLS/DTLS hearbeat information disclosure. A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server.

The files relating to 1.0.1e-2+deb7u4 can be found here, and you should be able to revert back to a previous version of a package by adding entries in the /etc/apt/preferences file.
