Note that you should restart any daemons running SSL. (E.g., ssh or ssl-enabled apache.)

From skimming the descriptions of the vulnerabilities here, it looks like they only affect the SSL-specific portion of OpenSSL - and thus not OpenSSH. OpenSSH uses OpenSSL merely for its en/decryption algorithms, not its SSL/TLS implementation or its ASN.1 parser.
