Critical security flaw in Flash has no patch

Adobe has issued an advisory over a new 0-day exploit in Flash, and Kaspersky has revealed information about attacks it is being used in.

Chrome and Firefox should completely block Flash installations at this point.

So much flash still being used online it's going to take a while to rid ourselves of these problems

With chrome having flash build in and MS also doing flash updates though Windows Update. Why are flash updates still making headlines?!
