[GoogleCodeExporter]

 The Drupal security team has identified 33 security improvements so far in
2007. These improvements have been applied to some of 2400 Drupal projects
including 4 fixes to Drupal core. The student should review the 33 security
issues to date and write a one page report making recommendations for how
Drupal core should be improved to avoid these issues.

Several sentences/bullets that provide more detail into the task:

* Read each of the 33 security issues for Drupal in 2007
* Create a security taxonomy to help classify issues
* Identify the most common vulnerabilities in Drupal core.
* Identify the most common vulnerabilities in Drupal contributed projects.
* Create a one page report for review by the 30 members of the Drupal
security team.
* Once the report has been reviewed by the Drupal security team the report
should be posted to the Drupal development list
* The student should post their report to report the security education
section of Drupal handbooks.
* The student should post their report to the front page of Drupal.org

Estimated time: Four days. One day reading 33 security reports. One day
researching a security taxonomy. One day writing the brief report to the
security team. One day publish and educating the Drupal community about
Drupal security issues.
