Title
rsa crate has potential panic on a prime being equal to 1
Summary
The `rsa` crate is an RSA implementation written in rust. Prior to version 0.9.10, when creating a RSA private key from its components, the construction panics instead of returning an error when one of the primes is `1`. Version 0.9.10 fixes the issue.
Severity
