From what I understand of the bug, it only affects servers (as in apache, nginx, postfix, OpenVPN, etc.) Unless you are running something like that as a service open to the Internet you are safe. Having said that, just upgrade your packages.

On Ubuntu 13.10, according to http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.0.1e-3ubuntu1.2/changelog version openssl_1.0.1e-3ubuntu1.2 is the patched one. Run 'dpkg -l | grep openssl' to see which version you have.
