Adobe is investigating the issue and released the following statement to

SCMagazineUS:

We are aware of today’s report of a Flash Player exploit in the wild. We are working with Symantec to investigate the potential SWF [the Flash file format] vulnerability and will have an update once we get more information.

Symantec has issued a warning to users particularly corporate ones that they should disable/uninstall Flash for the moment until a patch is released by Adobe. Or at least they must not visit untrusted sites.
