Hi,
In what way ? The entire kernel source is there for you to go through and when you download the tarballs you can verify the integrity with the .sign file . See -->
Obviously, the more complex something becomes the more likely that an error will slip through but the whole openness of linux equally means it will probably be detected and fixed before you even know about it.
If you want to be conservative you should probably not be installing the very latest stuff in a corporate (or other mission critical) environment anyway.
