    How is it a zero day if a patch has been out since November?

      It was a 0day back then, I guess, so it (in some unknown magic way) keeps that designation forever, apparently.

      Real reason: people want clicks on their slop, so they bait your clicks with nonsense.

        The first time I heard it, it meant that it was a vuln present since the launch of that version unknown to the publisher, so meaning on day 0 it was possible to exploit it.

        Then, when I was studying for a certification I learned they changed the definition to mean it was the number of days a vendor had to patch that vulnerability, and in some cases after being patched these vulnerabilities would get a name assigned to them.

        And now, is more of a clickbait word for articles.
