In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential memory leaks
When the driver hits -ENOMEM at allocating a URB or a buffer, it
aborts and goes to the error path that releases the all previously
allocated resources. However, when -ENOMEM hits at the middle of the
sync EP URB allocation loop, the partially allocated URBs might be
left without released, because ep->nurbs is still zero at that point.
Fix it by setting ep->nurbs at first, so that the error handler loops
over the full URB list.
