flex: Add CVE-2019-6293 to exclusions for checks
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CVE is effectively disputed - yes there is stack exhaustion but no bug and it
is building the parser, not running it, effectively similar to a compiler ICE.
Upstream no plans to address and there is no security issue.

westes/flex#414
