Vulnerabilities become interesting at two (perhaps more) different points in their lifecycle. One is when the idea of the vulnerability is first revealed (or first thought of). A second point is when the vulnerability begins to be seen "in the wild". The first is interesting for theoretical reasons, the second for practical reasons. This story relates to the vulnerability appearing "in the wild".
