## Overview

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

net: ftgmac100: fix ring allocation unwind on open failure

ftgmac100_alloc_rings() allocates rx_skbs, tx_skbs, rxdes, txdes, and
rx_scratch in stages. On intermediate failures it returned -ENOMEM
directly, leaking resources allocated earlier in the function.

Rework the failure path to use staged local unwind labels and free
allocated resources in reverse order before returning -ENOMEM. This
matches common netdev allocation cleanup style.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 4.12, < 5.10.253`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.203`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.168`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.134`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.12.81`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.13, < 6.18.22`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 6.19.12`
- `linux_kernel = 7.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.19.12`
