"Linus has stated in public that he does not consider security vulnerabilities any different from other bugs. That's a pretty apathetic attitude to security concerns in my book..."

Only if you assume that all bugs are treated apathetically.

Maybe he was just saying that, by definition, a security vuln is a bug, ie something is not behaving as expected and since bugs are usually treated with varying degrees of urgency, it kinda makes your claim look a bit silly.
