The tests are setting symbol_name to define the probe location.\nAddress and flags must be cleared.\n\nThe existing code clears some of the probes between subsequent tests, but\nnot between two test runs. The leftover data from a previous test run\nmakes the registrations fail in the next run.\n\nMove the cleanups for all kprobes into kprobes_test_init, this function\nis called before each single test (including the first test of a test\nrun).","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08d355936fcf70c81c94f9fe7310450b65c53399","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c24cf1fd67f6702c719ab73499392cb7af956ae","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29ec976006dfab171a7e007976e38af56ce286e4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96515819d79f356f40da5540968d838ea570fab9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/accc0004c501a9918313142282b094d408af06fb"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-30T13:47:47.119061695+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64163","score":0.00119,"percentile":0.01758,"date":"2026-10-30"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
