Upgrade openSSL package provided in stable updates.

OpenSSL 1.0.1g and/or GNUTLS 3.3.0 is recommended to fix this.

Afterwards you should start password updates and read up into locking down SSH accessibility if necessary, and check firewalls, run anti-malware tools, and other security checks as needed to be safe. This was a bad bug so don't take any chances.

Look at mancha's threads: Heartbleed: cauterizing the wounds & [Slackware security] vulnerabilities outstanding 20140101 for some helpful information.
