This is the standard command:

  $ openssl version

    @stormbrew is correct about ubuntu, use -a or -v -b

        openssl version -v -b

      I'm totally confused by this. I'm running ubuntu LTS 12.04 and did

          sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude upgrade openssl

      and then ran

          openssl version -a

      and got the same results as you. How can it be built on January 8th if the patch was just made today?

      [EDIT] running

          sudo aptitude upgrade

      upgraded properly and now I'm getting a version that was compiled earlier today. I'm guessing I needed to update another package as well. Probably `libssl`?

    As far as I can tell, on ubuntu this reports "OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012" for all ubuntu versions, including the fixed one.

      With "openssl version -a" you can see the built time.

        root@x ~ # openssl version -a

      Same here.

      I got a "security warning" update when I logged in to the server (good), ran apt-get and installed, did openssl version, got the string as noted above (which seemed just a tad out of date).

      So... I built and installed from source, and got... the same string.

      Annoying.
