Adobe ships patch for clickjacking and clipboard hijack threats

Adobe released version 10 of their Flash player with several security improvements. Vulnerabilities in previous versions could allow attackers to circumvent the software’s security controls according to Adobe. This also means the previously known clickjacking and clipboard hijacking attacks. This new version fixes these and several other security issues.

I don't like to be forced to a new version, since a patch for version 9 won't be available before early November. That's just the way it is. Even with the added protection from Noscript, I'm taking the plunge with the new version.
