    Isn’t this a 30 day vulnerability since this vulnerability has been known for a whole month?

    I hate the buzzword 0-day.

      If I understand correctly, it was exploited in the wild before a fix was available, which does make it a zero-day. However, the fix has been available for weeks, so while it was technically a zero-day, at this point it’s just a vulnerability in unpatched systems.

      It’s not a buzz word. It’s the correct term.

      It’s when you are given 0 days notice because it’s already being exploited when you find out about it.
