[PATCH] cve-extra-exclusions.inc: Document 2 x qemu and exclude a glibc CVE

From: Richard Purdie <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-10 14:56:00
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

One qemu CVE has a pending CPE change, the other is still being pondered
by upstream qemu, document the status.

Exclude a glibc CVE entry since it is for a specific corner case in
ftp servers which are unlikely to apply for us and upstream have no
plans to change it.
