As expected there is also a new version of Chrome for this fix (11.0.696.68). The 64bit version "flash square" (beta) is now at 10.3.162.28 (for IE9 x64).

"... Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser's privacy settings... Users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly from the Control Panel or System Preferences..."

Friday the 13th - "... One of the vulnerabilities [CVE-2011-0627] is being actively exploited on Windows-based systems via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Word (.doc) or Microsoft Excel (.xls) file and delivered via email attachment..."

"Users can access the Flash Player Settings Manager directly..."
Bout time. Having the only access be a web page was the height of arrogance. When you most need it is probably when you're not online. Also, a nice feature is the "Check Now" button, though it's to be seen whether this works when the updates become available and not several hours/days later as happens with Adobe stuff.

... Cautionary note: Experience since Flash 10.3 was installed shows that these "settings" made by the user are reset at times without prompting (??).
So, if you're not already using the Firefox add-on BetterPrivacy, get it installed - if you already have it installed, keep it.
