Subject: CVE-2022-49248: ALSA: firewire-lib: fix uninitialized flag for AV/C deferred transaction

Description
===========

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.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49248 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
