Sorry, kind of off topic but IF I am to trust wikipedia, wouldn't this not be called a zero day. It would be called a 9 month?
"The term derives from the age of the exploit. When a developer becomes aware of a security hole, there is a race to close it before attackers discover it or the vulnerability becomes public. A "zero day" attack occurs on or before the first or "zeroth" day of developer awareness, meaning the developer has not had any opportunity to distribute a security fix to users of the software."
