CVE-2014-5139 had an id change during its development. It was originally
known as CVE-2014-2970, but before it was released this was changed to
CVE-2014-5139. All references to CVE-2014-2970 should have been changed
to CVE-2014-5139 but apparently this one got missed. Essentially
CVE-2014-2970 and CVE-2014-5139 should be considered synonymous within
OpenSSL.

The two commits that you have identified are on different branches
(thanks to Kurt for pointing this out to me). The first commit is on the
master branch, and is the fix for dev versions of OpenSSL. It has also
been backported to the 1.0.2 beta branch in git. However it does not, as
yet, appear in any released version of OpenSSL.

The second commit is the version for the 1.0.1 branch in git. This is
the patch that has been applied in 1.0.1i.

The NVD database should probably refer to this second commit instead.

They are mostly the same, but CVE-2014-2970 should not be used:

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.
