If user_event_set_call_visible() fails,\ne.g. because the event is still enabled and trace_remove_event_call()\nreturns -EBUSY, the event is left registered with an irreversibly\ndestroyed field list. Any subsequent interaction with the event then\noperates on an empty field list while it is still fully visible in\ntracefs.\n\nMove the field destruction after the call removal, and splice the\nfield list back onto the event when the removal fails so the event\nremains in a consistent state.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0892da2272ec565858aa1ec5458552d699de9142","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2deb753127d7b7035e893955c5e91875e767d1f8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/62d6544e86506bb0695c9594c713cba859666f2f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c62b7e92b6086a2a0aeb71f3553dd8cf7fdcd8b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3d9b8b7c8f3627976fe758c77ffd3da260824d7"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-97924","score":0.002,"percentile":0.09713,"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).
