I am not sure it is official policy/practice, but in
theory I would think that the CVE is technically
closed when all impacted Fedora releases get
the fix, but if you use various "Resolves rhbz#1234567"
syntax in the change log (and I generally try to
do so in addition to referencing the CVE by it's
identifier) I seem to recall that as soon as the
package hits rawhide the issue gets closed.  It
is therefore up to the packager to make sure they
have actually done the necessary builds/backports
to previous releases as appropriate (not all CVEs
may apply to previous Fedora releases as they
may have different package versions, of course).
I have mostly decided that in practice, as long as
I have done any appropriate builds/backports, and
one is just waiting for the usual distribution delays,
that it is good enough (although high severity
CVEs may need special handling).

Or are you asking something different?
