    Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data
    is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.

    This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling
    the bearer to receive messages.

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
