Dude... reread the article and pay attention to Theo DeRaadt's comment. The answer is NO. They are not all security prone, but who cares? Better software means better stability _and_ better security.

And what the heck is a false positive in this case? They're looking for bugs. If you find a bug in the software you write, do you contemplate whether or not it is a security hazard before deciding to fix it, or do you just fix it? Please... :
