Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a double free vulnerability in the `ltq etop free channel()` function in the `drivers/net/ethernet/lantiq etop.c` module of the Linux kernel's Ethernet driver. This vulnerability can allow an attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The problem arises because the number of the currently released descriptor is never incremented, resulting in the same `skb` being released multiple times.
