My Joomla site is suddenly/inexplicably generating multiple errors

There are a series of new errors being generated by my Joomla website (url removed from this post by editor) and I haven't recently made any changes to prompt them:

Notice: Undefined index: n2ace0b in /home/content/55/7579755/html/libraries/joomla/import.php on line 1

Notice: Undefined index: n9e5e25 in /home/content/55/7579755/html/libraries/joomla/config.php on line 1

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/55/7579755/html/libraries/joomla/import.php:1) in /home/content/55/7579755/html/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 423

Why has this happened and how can I resolve these errors?

Your site was hacked. And you're showing notices and warnings to the user. You should take your site offline immediately and clean it.

Your database is compromised as well: There is plenty of spam inside the page (look for "buy inderal online no prescription")

But it seems they also managed to upload some php and mess up core files.

If you have a recent backup, that would be ideal. Otherwise a big cleanup is necessary.
