Yup. We arguing here on fine tuning industry accepted terms would hardly make any difference. But here we are just trying to argue what "should had been" the terminology. You can say that just cutting out time when there is really no work ;) :P Regards; w0lf -- sent from BlackBerry --

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.
