- kefka 11y agoAs in there were 0-day exploits that have not been, and will never be patched.
- whoopdedo 11y agoInsert Inigo Montoya quote here. "0-day" is a vulnerability that's discovered at the same time there are already exploits in the wild. It means you have zero days to get a patch deployed before the target is vulnerable to attack. Obviously a very bad situation to be in. And yet these days it gets thrown around as if it describes the severity of the vulnerability itself. Thus the above scoffing at "0-days that go back years". What does that mean? It's like saying you have a matinee movie on blue-ray that you'll watch tonight.
- grkvlt 11y ago> unpatched 0-days [...] I suppose one could have a patched 0-day? It would need to be be fixed by the vendor without them ever acknowledging the underlying issue existed, right? As for the "go back years" bit, the guy just has some XP vulns that were found ages back and he's never released them, and of course they still work.
