That's only true for Windows.

On most Linux distribution, users would get a notification for the update (7zip et al). And the shutdown confirmation dialog would show a pre-checked "Update and shutdown" option.

Some have auto-update enabled. By the time I go look at my Linux machine, it may already have the fix installed.
