Zero-Day exploits are exploits that come out after the public release of a particular vulnerability and before (or on the same day) of a patch for that vulnerability. This window of opportunity can be minutes, days, weeks or even longer and Zero-Day refers to this period of time.

eEye Research is a company that has made a commitment to stay on top of current vulnerabilities, create solutions for them and as one of their services, provide an online Zero-Day information Control Panel that they call the Zero-Day Tracker to list all active and patched Zero-Day vulnerabilities, complete with full descriptions, work-arounds and other important information.
