No, an error in an article is not a bug according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bug
So it can't be a security bug either.

Actually, you were after this page:

I was pondering if I should link to computer bug or software bug. I used computer bug because we only used the term "bug" so far and the computer bug page states that a bug can either be in hardware or in software. Text or documentation are not included so that's all I needed for a nifty argument in a non-serious discussion ;)
