We've since learned that nobody ever assigned CVE-2014-2970 to that
LibreSSL issue, and apparently every appearance of CVE-2014-2970 in "a
number of web pages" was ultimately the result of a miscommunication
outside of MITRE.
A complication is that CVE-2014-2970 had been assigned to a different
issue, and that issue isn't yet public. What you should do is:
- if you're part of the embargo audience that has been using
CVE-2014-2970 for a private vulnerability, use CVE-2014-5139
instead
- if you're not part of that embargo audience, all we can suggest is
that it's very likely that you'll see a public disclosure of
CVE-2014-5139 in the future
Also:
- MITRE is not part of the embargo audience and does not know what
the CVE-2014-5139 vulnerability is
- MITRE has separately communicated the CVE ID change to the
organization that originally assigned CVE-2014-2970
Soon, the MITRE CVE web site will have this for CVE-2014-2970:
** REJECT **
DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2014-5139. Reason:
This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2014-5139, and has also been used
to refer to an unrelated topic that is currently outside the scope of
CVE. This unrelated topic is a LibreSSL code change adding
functionality for certain process-bifurcation use cases that might
arise in future LibreSSL-based applications. There is no CVE ID
associated with this LibreSSL code change. As of 20140730,
CVE-2014-5139 is an undisclosed vulnerability in a different product,
with ongoing vulnerability coordination that had previously used the
CVE-2014-2970 ID.
The MITRE CVE web site entry for CVE-2014-5139 will have the details
of the issue after the public disclosure happens.
