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.
