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

ALSA: firewire-lib: fix uninitialized flag for AV/C deferred transaction

AV/C deferred transaction was supported at a commit 00a7bb81c20f ("ALSA:
firewire-lib: Add support for deferred transaction") while 'deferrable'
flag can be uninitialized for non-control/notify AV/C transactions.
UBSAN reports it:

This commit fixes the bug. The bug has no disadvantage for the non-
control/notify AV/C transactions since the flag has an effect for AV/C
response with INTERIM (0x0f) status which is not used for the transactions
in AV/C general specification.
