On the final\nattempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed\nreplacement leaves it at -1.\n\nThe current !retry test reverses both outcomes. It returns an error after\na successful final replacement, leaving the link update complete but the\nreader bookkeeping unfinished. After a failed final replacement, it\nfalls through and updates the head and reader pointers as though the\nreplacement succeeded, which can corrupt the ring.\n\nTreat only a negative counter as exhaustion and return the documented\n-EBUSY error.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/df02489aa3aa1834659f0d20c89f7d212047d268","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0d3aed7b12cf37b74c7cc5265073d0263b49cde"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89748","score":0.00165,"percentile":0.05671,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
