Also known as zero-day exploit or 0-day, a
zero-day flaw is any type of
flaw in
an operating
system,
software
program,
or
hardware
device
that are unknown to the public and often the company affiliated with
the product. These flaws become known to the public when a malware
program
exploits the flaw and compromises the product, the
computer,
and/or the
network
connected to the computer. Because the public and sometimes the
company is not prepared with fixes or
patches
to the flaw the exploits can cause serious issues that will remain
vulnerable until the company releases a solution to the issue. Also see: Security
definitions, ZERT
