Red Hat does backporting for updates, and CentOS rebuilds that
backported code.

If you look at the security issues you are talking about in mariadb 5.5,
you will see that they are ROLLED IN already:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0702.html

But backported in the current version.

(The list of CVE's patched is on that page)

If you have other questions about backporting, read this:

https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting

So the short message is, if you want to know if a CVE fix is included,
you can see on the errata page or here:

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/

All the CentOS announcements are here:
