The technique is based on a browser&#8217;s ability to include content from another page in the content of a trusted page. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike most browser flaws which affect one or other release of a browser, ClickJacking affects all popular browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google&#8217;s Chrome. <\/p>\n<p>The upgraded Flash player also includes fixes that can aid in preventing a Clickjacking attack on a Flash Player user&#8217;s camera and microphone, the company said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This update includes further changes to enhance Flash Player&#8217;s interpretation of cross-domain policy files. These changes could help prevent privilege escalation attacks against web servers hosting Flash content and cross-domain policy files.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Users are urged to upgrade from previous versions of the Flash player to at least version 10.0.12.36.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=141123\"><strong>Adobe Flash clickjacking discussion<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just days after releasing Flash 10, Adobe has issued a security warning urging users to upgrade for security reasons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5647"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5647\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
