Refers to reporting security flaws to vendors and the general public. Normally, vulnerabilities are first reported to the software vendor and then revealed to the public after the vendor has published a patch to fix the problem. If the vendor does not develop a remedy after 30 to 60 days, the discovering party often makes the flaw public. See vulnerability and CERT. |

The busiest month in 2006 for vulnerability disclosure was June, while the busiest week was the week before Thanksgiving and the most popular day of the week to disclose vulnerabilities was Tuesday. The time between vulnerability disclosure and exploit availability is shrinking to amazing levels - the days of true zero-day exploits are upon us. |
