Subject: [PATCH v8 2/2] tools/bootconfig: fix fd leak in load_xbc_file() on fstat failure
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:58:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318155847.78065-3-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318155847.78065-1-objecting@objecting.org>

If fstat() fails after open() succeeds, the function returns without
closing the file descriptor. Also preserve errno across close(), since
close() may overwrite it before the error is returned.

Fixes: 950313ebf79c ("tools: bootconfig: Add bootconfig command")
