I am not an expert, but I have been listening to a few talks at security conferences (I mean watching videos published via webpages) and there almost always been a little of assembly code to understand what is going on. I think that somebody interested in security of C programs should have skill to write at least small programs in assembly.
Easiest way to gain practical assembly skills is to practice writing software for 8-bit microcontrollers (AVR ATmega-s or μc-s based on the 8051 instruction set), but they are very different environment than PCs. They don't have operating systems. Physical separation of instruction and data memory.
