    This turned out not to be an error in usb-storage but rather a nested
    device reset attempt.  That is, as the rtl8712 driver was being
    unbound from a composite device in preparation for an unrelated USB
    reset (that driver does not have pre_reset or post_reset callbacks),
    its ->remove routine called usb_reset_device() -- thus nesting one
    reset call within another.

    Performing a reset as part of disconnect processing is a questionable
    practice at best.  However, the bug report points out that the USB
    core does not have any protection against nested resets.  Adding a
    reset_in_progress flag and testing it will prevent such errors in the
    future.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
