Description
The vulnerability https://public.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-aqmt-fmm5-aaad is missing the affected versions `0.7.1.fix1` and `0.7.4.svn.r2010`. See the details here: https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/e56e7a79124764436c8b64e07d4ee7ab7f6b5605/vulns/ipython/PYSEC-2022-12.yaml.
Additionally, the vulnerability https://public.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-zdzp-uhzh-aaar also affects the `jw.util` package version `-class.-jw.util.version.Version-`, as stated here: https://github.com/pypa/advisory-database/blob/e56e7a79124764436c8b64e07d4ee7ab7f6b5605/vulns/jw.util/PYSEC-2020-341.yaml.
This version does indeed exist upstream on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/jw.util/-class.-jw.util.version.Version-/.
The issue arises when `univers` is unable to parse these unusual versions. IMO we should not discard an affected or fixed version just because it is unusual and cannot be parsed by univers. Instead, should we store these versions as strings if we fail to parse them?
