10 Yes, upgrade your OpenSSL to the latest stable version, and if 1.0.1g
11 isn't stable on your arch (it should be unless it's a weird one), unset
12 USE=tls-heartbeat like Ralf said.

14 But that's not your big problem. If you operate any servers, the private
15 keys to any OpenSSL-backed service may have been compromised. So the old
16 certificates all need to be revoked and new ones issued. That includes
17 Apache, OpenVPN, Postfix, Dovecot -- all the big ones. Even if you don't
18 run servers, other people do, and they were probably vulnerable. So any
19 passwords you've used on the web in the past two years should be changed.
