It's good for both companies that Chrome has Flash integrated, but Google has developed a bad habit of not coordinating with Adobe. It can't be right for them to release early like this.

Google has developed a bad habit with respect to patching vulnerabilities in the integrated version of Adobe Flash in their Chrome for Windows browser: They release and announce the updates before Adobe does. They have done it several times in the last year or so and today they did it again. "The Beta and Stable channels have been updated to 14.0.835.186 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame."

This creates a situation in which Adobe has a zero day bug with increased severity. It's likely that they aren't ready to release their own patches, yet 3rd parties could look at the Chrome update and potentially examine it in order to determine what it is patching. From that they could construct an exploit.

Even Google isn't well-served by this; not everyone updates their Chrome version immediately, especially updates like this one which require that you restart the browser (and all running browser instances).

Some time soon you can expect an update to Flash from Adobe fixing the bug in Flash on other platforms.
