+Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix UAF decrement if card has no live interfaces in
+ card.c
+
+If a USB sound card reports 0 interfaces, an error condition is triggered
+and the function usb_audio_probe errors out. In the error path, there was a
+use-after-free vulnerability where the memory object of the card was first
+freed, followed by a decrement of the number of active chips. Moving the
+decrement above the atomic_dec fixes the UAF.
+
+[ The original problem was introduced in 3.1 kernel, while it was
+ developed in a different form. The Fixes tag below indicates the
+ original commit but it doesn't mean that the patch is applicable
+ cleanly. -- tiwai ]
+
+Fixes: 362e4e49abe5 ("ALSA: usb-audio - clear chip->probing on error exit")
