Research direction

Look at the existing advisory in the RustCrypto/utils repository under the security advisories section. Understand the format required by the Rustsec Advisory Database. Check how other advisories are submitted to Rustsec, likely via a pull request to their advisory-db repository. The task is to convert the existing advisory data into the Rustsec format, ensuring platform tags like 'aarch64' are included, and submit it.

Description

I am relying on cargo deny to find all kinds of issues with my dependencies. So I was surprised to have a different tool find GHSA-3rjw-m598-pq24 here on Github where it is a lot less discoverable.

Is this intentional? I think it would make sense to additionally publish advisories on the Rustsec Advisory DB.

I think there it even could be tagged for the affected platforms (aarch64), which currently is only available for humans when reading the text.
