    All software has vulnerabilities; all of them need patching.  Note the last line of the article:

    "It's unclear if Ormandy has analyzed the security of other antivirus products so he can arrive at an assessment of how they compare to Sophos. He didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment for this post."

    Symantec (amongst other software vendors) have had vulnerabilities discovered and fixed in the past, some quicker than others, etc.
