Critical - Adobe issues emergency fix for Flash zero-day

Adobe has published an emergency Flash update to protect against a "zero day" exploit.
An attack is known as a zero-day if the crooks start using it before a patch is available.

It's a curious name, but it is meant to reflect the fact that there were zero days on which you could possibly have been patched before the exploit became known.
