To be fair, PHP has a lot of unpatched security flaws in the language
and platform themselves. I think that qualifies quite clearly as
problems with the tools rather than the workman.

See http://www.php-security.org/ for the Month of PHP Bugs, of which
many were patched, and a lot still remain unpatched. This is just the
ones found in one audit; I have no doubt many, many more remain.
