However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously\nwhile ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.\n\nWhen userspace control applications access or close these open file\ndescriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data\npointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure,\nresulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.\n\nFix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until\nall references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom\ncard->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup()\nthat frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring\nbuffers only when the sound card
