OFFICIAL WORD ABOUT ZEITCOIN (WALLET) & THE HEARTBLEED BUG
As far as we can be certain, there are NO issues with the default wallet -
(as is the case with most other alt-coins)
The problem is with the (system installed) SSL library, so if you update your system you should be safe from HeartBleed.
You SHOULD have version 1.0.1g of the SSL library after the update.
If you find the installed file is called libssl.so.1.0.0 you may need to check the package manager of your O.S./distro.
You could of course use a custom build of openssl-1.0.1g & link against that library, especially those using any versions of the Linux OS.
I repeat - these is NO specific issue with the default Zeit wallet that needs fixed or patched or anything else. Just practice good general computer security & there's nothing to worry about.

If this is a computer issue and not a wallet issue then why do i see so many other coins releasing updates for this problem?
Also you said "update your system" update what exactly? And where do i find that SSL file to see which version i have?
Yes, please clarify. I don't think it is true to just update the system and not the specific wallet. Check on every page of bitcointalk.org - A warning about the bug, plus an update for the bitcoin client. So if all would be alright to just update the computer, how comes all active coins update their wallets.
Check out this thread that lists exactly which coins already updated their wallets (and thus are seen as more active and reliable)...
