None of this really matters. People will call it whatever they want to. Generally, all software has some sort of vulnerability. If they want to call the process of that vulnerability being communicated for the first time "0 day vulnerability" then so what.
The industry can't (and won't) even come up with what "Remote Code Execution" really means, so trying to standardize disclosure nomenclature is a waste of time IMO. t >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:full-disclosure- >[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] >Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 9:25 AM >To: Curt Purdy; [email protected]; full- >[email protected] >Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] 0-day "vulnerability" > >Yep.
