How do the JavaScript SecureRandom() vulnerabilities affect me?

4

A recent post on the Bitcoin-dev mailing list talks about multiple vulnerabilities in JavaScript SecureRandom() class. Apparently this class has been used in multiple cryptocurrency wallets that use JavaScript to generate private keys.

What products are affected by these vulnerabilities? As a user of these products, what should I do to make myself no longer vulnerable?
