Description

Hello,

@jayvdb reported https://github.com/google/osv.dev/issues/2843 to OSV.dev, but it's really an issue with the source data as published in the RUST Advisory Database, so I wanted to have the discussion on an issue here.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked OSV.dev issue and comparing its report with the RustSec advisory data. Identify which advisory records have an incorrect published date, then update them so published dates match issued dates and verify the resulting data is consistent.
