At any rate this is an application bug, not a kernel bug.

There was indeed this very bug in OpenSSL version 0.9.7d, which was
patched in 0.9.7e and even in later Debian packages of 0.9.7d. But it
should no longer be present in the versions you tested.
Try running 'type' openssl to determine where your exact application
lives:
$ type openssl
openssl is /usr/bin/openssl
And then verifying that it is indeed loading the libraries from the correct
locations (here on Debian 'sid):
$ ldd /usr/bin/openssl
libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.7 (0xb7f98000)
libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (0xb7e95000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e92000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d5d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7fea000)
It could be that you are inadvertently using an older or mixed version
of openssl and/or libraries if you have remnants of pieces under
/usr/local say.

Again suggesting some local mixup.
