Do you already have checks for signed/unsigned issues? Those often result in security problems, although you may already be checking for them simply for reliable-code purposes. ...Hm, looking at the archives, I see Chris Evans responded about signedness issues when you asked last month :-P
You may want to check out and/or subscribe to the security-audit list; most of the discussion is about userland security issues but kernel problems (or potential ones) are discussed as well. We have archives of the list at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-security-audit&r=1&w=2 And see http://www.linuxhelp.org/lsap.shtml for more info, subscribing, etc.
