Unpatched Vulnerability: Working Exploit

"Working in a white hat's lab" is not as urgent as "being abused right now in 
the wild".

. . . or maybe "zero day exploit".

Proposed:

1. A 0-day EXPLOIT is an Unpatched Vulnerability that we realize is being or 
has been abused.

2. A 0-day VULNERABILITY: no such thing. All vulnerabilities are either 
Unpatched or Patched. They start out in Unpatched status the moment some 
programmer creates them. They remain Unpatched until they are Patched.
