A paranoid solution is what I use:

- Firefox with NoScript extension
- NoScript is in block all mode. If I want flash content, I have to allow it explicitely.
- Flash adds/java script from adds is not executed ever.

Of course this requires manual intervention.

That's just a general protection method btw, you should still install the patch, but NoScript, when properly used, prevents many unknown exploits.
