Workarounds

🤷‍♂️

I believe, it should be possible to patch rsa to a compatible version with a security fix or patch sqlx-mysql to a compatible version that replaces rsa with another crate (if it's even possible?). Consider linking these versions, if they exist.

Looking at the discussion on the RSA repo here RustCrypto/RSA#19, I'm not sure we can exect a fix in a short term.

The annoying thing is that it combines with a Cargo bug (#2172), so this vulnerability is reported by dependabot even when not using mysql.
