Tony Arcieri ac125ee29a Translate database into V3 advisory format (#420) 
As proposed in #240 and tracked in #414, this PR translates all
advisories into the new "V3" advisory format, which is based on Markdown
with leading TOML front matter.

This format makes it easier to see rendered Markdown syntax
descriptions, whether rendered by an IDE or GitHub. This should help
with both crafting advisories initially as well as review, and ideally
encourages more lengthy descriptions.

Support for this format shipped in `cargo-audit` v0.12.0 on
May 6th, 2020.

Missing sanitazion in mozwire allows local file overwrite of files ending in .conf

The client software downloaded a list of servers from mozilla's servers and created local files named after the hostname field in the json document.

No verification of the content of the string was made, and it could therefore have included '../' leading to path traversal.

This allows an attacker in controll of mozilla's servers to overwrite/create local files named .conf.

The flaw was corrected by sanitizing the hostname field.
