Agree with you, Gadi. Need to know what we are talking about.

From: http://www.tech-faq.com/0-day.shtml

What is 0-day?

0-day, pronounced "Zero Day" or sometimes "Oh Day", means "new."
The term has it's origins in the warez scene, but has become firmly
entrenched in the exploit trading scene.
If a game or an exploit was release on yesterday, it is 1-day. If it
was released a full week ago, it is 7-day.
0-day is used to refer to exploits released today and exploits that
have not yet been released.
An exploit might be 0-day to you because it was just publicly
released, but two-months old to members of the group that coded the
exploit.
