All I know, sendmail.org says I can not patch versions below

That's wrong. See the 8.13.6 note:
and 8.12 are availabe at our FTP site. However, note that those
patches do not (cleanly) apply to versions other than 8.13.5 and
8.12.11, respectively, at least the patch for sendmail/version.c will
fail, but that can be ignored. Moreover, these patches may not even
work with older version as there have been other changes before.
That is, you can apply the patch and if only version.c fails,
then you can give it a try. However, sendmail.org won't provide
support for such a patched version.
what wrong?
can you trust this patched version, if even sendmail.org says "these
patches may not even work with older version"?
