Fixing is easy: just upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1g.

The problem is that it might be that someone has used this against your
server and thus obtained secret keys and other information that you
don't want others to steal.

This blog:

advises to also regenerate your private key AND to replace SSL
certificates. Which is a huge pain.
