Adobe today patched 6 vulnerabilities in Flash Player, all of them attach serious by the company. Yesterdays update was 2010's third for Flash Player, the Adobe browser plug-in that's installed on a predictable 99% of all personal users. Earlier updates in March and June have fixed 33 other fault.

As is Adobe's perform, it exposed only the scantiest of details concerning the half dozen bugs in the supplementary security advisory. Five of the six were tagged as memory corruption vulnerabilities, while the sixth could potentially be used in a click-jacking attack. Adobe said it was unaware of any in-the-wild exploitation of the vulnerabilities.

One of the patches is a subsequent try for Adobe. The company tried to patch the CVE-2010-2188 fault two months before while it last updated Flash. Though, about two weeks following that June 10 update, Adobe admit its fix had unsuccessful. That left users execution, since even as the patch didn't do what Adobe intended, researchers including HP Tipping Point's ZDI bug bounty program had already published some technical information about the source of the vulnerability.
