CVE-request: MyBB before 1.6.1

Can I get 2010 CVE-identifiers for these two vulnerabilities, thanks.

1. MyBB search.php keywords Parameter SQL Injection

MyBB contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 
search.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the keywords parameter. This may allow an attacker to 
inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary 
data."""

2. MyBB private.php keywords Parameter SQL Injection

MyBB contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 
private.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the keywords parameter. This may allow an attacker to 
inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary 
data.

Both fixed in 1.6.1, same reporter but different php-file so do we want to merge these or should there be two CVEs? 
Please note that there is issue:

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in MyBB (aka
MyBulletinBoard) 1.4.14, and 1.6.x before 1.6.1, allow remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related
to (1) editpost.php, (2) member.php, and (3) newreply.php.


Current Votes:
None (candidate not yet proposed)
======================================================

I do not understand why 1.6.1 release did not say anything about fixes to SQL-injection vulnerabilities.
