TLDR
Zero day vulnerabilities are software security gaps disclosed to the public often before a patch is available. The race is on between the software manufacturer and their customers to get a patch developed, tested, and deployed before the bad guys can use it to launch attacks. Many attacks are launched against vulnerabilities months or years old with patches that have been available for as long as the vulnerability has been public.via the TL;DR App
