    This happens because of a race condition between:

    - The 9p client sending an invalid flush request and later cleaning it up;
    - The 9p client in p9_read_work() canceled all pending requests.

    Commit 74d6a5d56629 (9p/trans_fd: Fix concurrency del of req_list in
    p9_fd_cancelled/p9_read_work) fixes a concurrency issue in the 9p filesystem
    client where the req_list could be deleted simultaneously by both
    p9_read_work and p9_fd_cancelled functions, but for the case where req->status
    equals REQ_STATUS_RCVD.

    Update the check for req->status in p9_fd_cancelled to skip processing not
    just received requests, but anything that is not SENT, as whatever
    changed the state from SENT also removed the request from its list.

    Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

    [updated the check from status == RECV || status == ERROR to status != SENT]

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.");
