Historically, the term "backdoor" has meant code intentionally designed to
permit access without normal authentication/authorization. A bug, being
neither intentional nor designed, is typically not considered a backdoor.
However, if you feel better redefining terms to your liking, feel free. You
might let people know of your redefinitions beforehand to avoid
misunderstanding, though.
