## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: Intel: avs: Fix unbalanced module reference count

strace_open() invokes try_module_get() which on success takes
the module reference.  If any follow up operation causes
strace_open() to fail, the refcount shall be put down.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
