In short if you've generated any keys with OpenSSL (ie: certificates, ssh keys, etc,) on Debian or its derivatives at anytime in at least the last 2 years, you will want to regenerate them after you upgrade to the fixed version. Updating will solve the weak key generation issue, but not do anything about the already generated keys in use. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: Leela: "Great. We're two days from earth with no food."
