This adds the more specific weakness CWE-88, as discussed in the pull request that fixed this vulnerability, in comments Byron/gitoxide#1342 (comment) and below. I've already made this change at the corresponding repository-level advisory GHSA-98p4-xjmm-8mfh. Because CWE-88 is a child of CWE-77, I wasn't sure if it was best to keep CWE-77 as well, but several other git-related advisories, some of which this resembles, do list both explicitly. If CWE-88 ought instead to replace CWE-77 here, then I have no objection to that.
