Subject: sendmail close-on-exec issue -- CVE assigned?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hi,

There is a security issue with sendmail which was fixed in 8.14.9 but
there is no CVE to my knowledge:

(Quote from ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES )

8.14.9/8.14.9	2014/05/21
	SECURITY: Properly set the close-on-exec flag for file
		descriptors (except stdin, stdout, and stderr) before
		executing mailers.

Can someone confirm if there is no duplicate request for this and
assign one if that's the case?  (I have searched a few CVE databases
and found nothing).

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
