Does ‘zero-day’ or ‘0-day’ (in context of software vulnerabilities and exploits) refer to the software release, or a particular type of exploit?
[I did not find an answer to this on SO. Though it is answered elsewhere on the Internet, my understanding of SO is that it’s okay to ask/answer basic questions]
Simply put it means that it [the exploit] was released before the company was notified, and had the opportunity to fix it, because the company had 0-days of notification.
