That is a bit bizarre given that it is in tight competition with Java (which also features enormous update issues) as the biggest security vulnerability on most systems.

The Flash (and java for that matter) update mechanisms are a big nuisance. Having to go visit the site manually is also not very convenient. So I end up using a 3rd party that actually checks the plugins and gives me a direct update link if the plugin is not up to date. https://browsercheck.qualys.com/?scan_type=js https://browsercheck.qualys.com/?scan_type=js Not perfect, but it helps me.
