To fix this the patch rearranges the goto labels to reflect the order of
object allocations and adds appropriate goto statements on the error
paths.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
