If you're running a vulnerable version of OpenSSL and want to be truly careful, assume your private keys (not just certs) are already compromised. Once new packages are available, you need to update and then re-roll your crypto.

Also, if you're using those keys to protect other secrets like passwords - say, DB credentials or AWS keys stored in an HTTP-hosted Git repo behind - you can't really assume those are safe either.

Fun times!
