    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
