Considering the ssh crash I would agree that ssh could be compromised. The best thing to do would be to re-install all ssh/ssl related packages.

I suspect the best thing would be to assume the worst: all passwords and private keys on that box are compromised.

I'd get it off-line, clone it for forensics, and repave it as soon as possible. Then talk to anyone with user credentials on that account and make provision for changing passwords and re-generating any private keys.
