I have a few ubuntu servers. When I do a "check for heartbleed" check with various tools, it says they are not vulnerable. However, these servers were installed 6 months ago and not updated for at least 2 months. How can they not be vulnerable?

Maybe they use the GNU TLS library.

You might want to rely on some other tool to determine if you are vulnerable or not. Or, just fix it yourself:

I am not an expert on the topic by any means, but one possibility is that older versions of impacted software are simply not vulnerable.

Yep, older versions of OpenSSL are not vulnerable.

Older versions of OpenSSL were not vulnerable. Noticable 10.04 is not vulnerable.
