Great idea. Here are some sites on the web that might be of interest:

Security Bugware:   http://oliver.efri.hr/~crv/security/
    (Nice site, seems to be updated regularly)

Security Focus:  http://www.securityfocus.com/vdb
    (Vulnerability database -- a lot of the stuff seems to come from
     bugtraq)

Phrack:  http://www.phrack.com/
    (Some of the recent phracks have been great. Check out:
     p48-13: TCP/IP SYN Flooding
***  p49-14: Smashing the stack for Fun and Profit    (READ IT!)
     p49-15: PortScanning without the SYN flag
     p51-05: File Descriptor Hijacking
     p51-11: The Art of Portscanning
     p52-16: Piercing Firewalls
     p53-06: T/TCP Vulnerabilities
