Is an Open Port on a Firewall Without a Service Bound to It a Security Vulnerability

0 votes
If a firewall has an open port but no service bound to it, is that still considered a security vulnerability? Could an attacker exploit such a port, or is it only a risk if a service eventually binds to it?
