At this point, due to the prior trace_iterator_reset, both\n`iter.seq.len` and `iter.seq.size` were set to 0. Since they are equal,\nthe WARN_ON_ONCE condition is triggered.\n\nMove the trace_printk_seq() into the if block that checks to make sure the\nreturn value of trace_find_next_entry_inc() is non-NULL in\nftrace_dump_one(), ensuring the 'iter.seq' is properly populated before\nsubsequent operations.","published":"2025-09-16T13:15:55.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-19T21:10:00.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":4.7,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-362"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel","debian/debian linux"],"epss":{"score":0.00121,"percentile":0.019,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%).
