CVE-2026-74525: net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

CVE-2026-74525: net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

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

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

net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

When RX descriptor ring allocation fails, init_dma_desc_rings() only
frees the partially allocated RX rings and returns. The TX rings that
were allocated earlier in the same function are leaked.

Rearrange error labels to clean up TX rings upon RX failures.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74525 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:
