Flash WSUS updates

We have an distribution license agreement for installing Flash.  The e-mail we received has a link for downloading the software.  That page, in turn, has a link for SCUP.  However, the SCUP is for 23.0.0.185, not the latest release for APSB16-33.  How can we get the appropriate update for our Windows 7 users?

Thank you.

23.0.0.185 is the most recent version of Flash Player released on October 11, 2016. 

APSB16-33 appears to be an Adobe Acrobat and Reader security bulletin, not Flash Player Security bulletin:

The Flash Player security bulletin for 23.0.0.185 is https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb16-32.html

I have also confirmed the SCUP catalog references security bulletin APSB16-32, not APSB16-33

Thank you for the response. My mistake on the bulletin number.

What’s puzzling me on the .185 is when I look at the update in WSUS, the release date is 9-23, not 10-11.

9/23 was when the file was created.  The http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  page is always updated with the latest release.  We also recently introduced a masterversion.xml file that customers can use (in automation scripts) to check if an update is available.  The versions on this XML file are updated the same day we have a release.  Information on the masterversion XML file is available in the Flash Player Admin Guide
