As I understand it – it would, but... most desktop platforms don't have that kind of application software installed (nor is such software *available* at all, when it comes to the usual suspects – when was the last time a "Facebook" desktop app existed for Windows? probably in Win8 UWP era?), unlike mobile platforms where having such software is "normal" and commonplace.

"the 0.0.0.0 Day"? ...I'm sorry, but that sounds like such a grandiose name for what seems like a very regular vulnerability. It definitely beats "Meltdown" by a mile. What will come next? "git checkout master of Disaster"? "Ultra LaserJet"? "Segfault of Doctor Doom"?
