The RustSec Advisory Database is a repository of security advisories filed
against Rust crates published via https://crates.io

Advisory metadata is stored in [TOML] format for [cargo-audit] and other
automated tools to consume.

## Format

Each advisory contains information in [TOML] format:

```toml
[advisory]
package = "mypackage"

# Versions which were never vulnerable
unaffected_versions = ["< 1.1.0"]

# Versions which include fixes for this vulnerability
patched_versions = [">= 1.2.0"]

# It is strongly recommended to request a CVE, or alternatively a DWF, and
# reference the assigned number here.
# - CVE: https://iwantacve.org/
# - DWF: https://distributedweaknessfiling.org/
dwf = []
# dwf = ["CVE-YYYY-XXXX"]
# dwf = ["CVE-YYYY-XXXX", "CVE-ZZZZ-WWWW"]

# URL to a long-form description of this issue, e.g. a blogpost announcing
# the release or a changelog entry (optional)
url = false

# Single-line description of a vulnerability
title = "Flaw in X allows Y"

# Disclosure date of the advisory (RFC 3339)
date = "2017-02-25"

# Enter a short-form description of the vulnerability here (required)
description = """
Affected versions of this crate did not properly X.

This allows an attacker to Y.
 
The flaw was corrected by Z.
"""
```
