4. Solution

Apply an update

This issue is addressed in OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Please refer to the advisories of each product.

Any system that may have exposed this vulnerability should regenerate any sensitive information (secret keys, passwords, etc.) with the assumption that an attacker has already used this vulnerability to obtain those items.
#1: New Keys: For all affected systems, acquire new key certificates, revoke your old ones and install the new ones.
#2: Change Passwords: Once you have patched your systems, changed your keys, ensure that your systems also accomplished those tasks, then it is time to change the passwords for all users on those systems. Do not do this until everything else is done.
