Can't open an SSH session because of OpenSSL version mismatch

From Stack Overflow:

Try apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client.

I had the same issue when I updated my system to Debian Testing. Even though SSH was already installed, in my case it wasn't pulled in for updating when I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and so the system still had the same SSH binaries with the now-outdated libraries linked against it, hence the version mismatch.
