There is no evidence of 0day in the wild for the upcoming patches and
Microsoft have released no information to suggest so.

and that's how the white hats got a copy of the exploit).  This bulletin
is a heads-up to those black hats that their 0-day is going to be dropping
in value a lot starting Tuesday - so it's "smoke em if you got em" time.

For bonus points - compute what percent of advisories released next week
that *claim* to be reverse-engineering of the binary diff are actually
drops of 0-days that just became useless... ;)
