Research direction

Start by reading the linked RustSec advisory and its details for ring 0.17.10, then inspect the Rust dependency configuration to find how ring enters the project. The issue does not define a replacement or acceptance criteria, so completion requires agreeing on a resolution for the unmaintained package and verifying the project still builds and tests pass.
