This function looks through every PE to find one in an erroneous state, then calls the regular event handler eeh_handle_normal_event() once it knows which PE has an error. However, if eeh_handle_normal_event() found that the PE cannot possibly be recovered, it will free it, rendering the passed PE stale. This leads to a use after free in eeh_handle_special_event() as it attempts to clear the "recovering" state on the PE after eeh_handle_normal_event() returns. Thus, make sure the PE is valid when attempting to clear state in eeh_handle_special_event().
