How to fix?

Overview
libp2p-core is a rust implementation of libp2p networking stack.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to missing checks that the public key the signature was created with matches the peer ID of the peer record. Any combination was considered valid. This allows an attacker to republish an existing PeerRecord with a different PeerId.
