Motherboard reports that Facebook hired a cybersecurity firm to develop a zero-day exploit for the video player in Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System). Facebook provided this exploit to the FBI to aid in the apprehension of a predator using Facebook to harass victims. This exploit was not disclosed to the Tails developers.
Also covered by Gizmodo, as seen on Schneier's blog.
[Ed Note - The zero day was provided to the FBI via a third party, not directly from Facebook.]
