xserver-xorg: whitelist two CVEs
CVE-2011-4613 is specific to Debian/Ubuntu. CVE-2020-25697 is a non-trivial attack that may not actually be feasible considering the default behaviour for clients is to exit if the connection is lost. Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org> (cherry picked from commit afa2e6c31a79f75ff4113d53f618bbb349cd6c17) Signed-off-by: Anuj Mittal <anuj.mittal@intel.com>
