I wouldn't call the current usage a non-sequitur. Zero-day exploits being those in use before the vendor and general public have been made aware of them. Presumably, a 1 day exploit would be one published on the day the vulnerability was announced. It seems like a fairly natural application of what was, at the time, a pretty well understood terminology.
- grkvlt 12y agoThe problem is, current usage seems to be to use 'zero day' as a synonym for 'just released' when speaking about vulnerabilities, which I agree is wrong. A '0day' by definition will not be known about by the public, so cannot feature in a public announcement.
- diminoten 12y agoZero day, today, means unpatched in latest version, at least when applied to vulnerabilities.
