forking a process can create repeated random numbers

Please assign CVE.

The existence of a popular blog post discussing a number of
interrelated LibreSSL and OpenSSL issues doesn't mean that we have a
good way to proceed by assigning a single CVE ID.

I see a number of web pages relating to this issue are mentioning that
it has already been assigned CVE-2014-2970, can anyone throw light on this?
