Ignore CVE-2024-5175 from our security scans

Ignore CVE-2024-5175 from our security scans, because Dangerzone is not
affected by it. Our assessment follows:

The affected library, `libaom.so`, is linked by GStreamer's
`libgstaom.so` library. The vulnerable `aom_img_alloc` function is only
used when **encoding** a video to AV1. LibreOffce uses the **decode**
path instead, when generating thumbnails.

Closes #895

# CVE-2024-5171
# =============
#
# NVD Entry: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-5171
# Verdict: Dangerzone is not affected. The rationale is the following:
#
# The affected library, `libaom.so`, is linked by GStreamer's `libgstaom.so`
# library. The vulnerable `aom_img_alloc` function is only used when
# **encoding** a video to AV1. LibreOffce uses the **decode** path instead,
# when generating thumbnails.
