I must concur with Gadi. "0day" does not apply.
How the vulnerability comes to light does matter.
So far, all that has been exposed is "a vulnerability exists." If a PDF which
exploits the vulnerability had circulated, then "0day" would apply. Active
exploitation is the defining characteristic of "0day".
Otherwise all vulnerabilities would be "0day" vulnerabilities. The term would
be meaningless.
