This happens because the     adding of task_work from io_ring_exit_work() isn't synchronized with canceling all work items from eg     exec. The execution of the two are ordered in that they are both run by the task itself, but if     io_tctx_exit_cb() is queued while we're canceling all work items off exec AND gets executed when the task     exits to userspace rather than in the main loop in io_uring_cancel_generic(), then we can find     current->io_uring == NULL and hit the above crash. It's safe to add this NULL check here, because the     execution of the two paths are done by the task itself. [axboe: add code comment and also put an     explanation in the commit msg] (CVE-2022-48983)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
