In the first edition of the Linux Security Report, we'll look at the libpng security bug that was found by the Slackware security team, the Android malware that changes DNS settings in wireless routers, and a few other bugs, as well. We'll also take a look at the Core Infrastructure Initiative, which aims to make open-source software more secure.
