Description
According to https://github.com/servo/rust-smallvec/issues/343, the smallvec crate had undefined behavior in the Smallvec::insert() function in versions >= 1.8.1, <= 1.13.1 (https://github.com/servo/rust-smallvec/issues/343#issuecomment-2010314421).
Given the number of downloads and crates depending on it, it's probably worth recording it in the advisory database.
