NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-4.9 package and not the linux-4.9 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel through 4.19.6, a local user could exploit a use-after-free in the ALSA driver by supplying a malicious USB Sound device (with zero interfaces) that is mishandled in usb_audio_probe in sound/usb/card.c.
