Today we released Security Advisory 2755801
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory...
that
addresses vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 10
on Windows 8. The majority of customers have automatic updates enabled
and will not need to take any action because protections will be
downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who do not use
automatic updates should apply the guidance in the advisory immediately
using update management software, or by checking the Microsoft Update
service, to help ensure protection.

We recognize there has been some discussion about our update process as
it relates to Adobe Flash Player. Microsoft is committed to taking the
appropriate actions to help protect our customers and we are working
closely with Adobe to deliver quality protections that are aligned with
Adobe update process.

With respect to Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 10, customers
can expect the following:

* On a quarterly basis when Adobe normally issues Flash Player
updates, we will coordinate on disclosure and release timing.
* When the threat landscape requires action outside of Adobe’s normal
update cadence, we will also work to align our release schedules.
For example, this may mean that in some cases we will issue updates
outside of our regular monthly security bulletin release.

As always, we recommend customers visit the Advisory for more
information and make sure the update is deployed as soon as possible to
help ensure that they are protected.

Adobe software - bane of my life. I didn't think it would be long before MS were pushing out a patch for it via WU.
