+
+ Close resource leaks in the BFD library's plugin handler.
+
+ PR 23460
+ * plugin.c (bfd_plugin_open_input): Close file descriptor if the
+ call to fstat fails.
+ (try_claim): Always close the file descriptor at the end of the
+ function.
+ (try_load_plugin): If a plugin has already been registered, then
+ skip the dlopen and onload steps and go straight to claiming the
+ file. If these is an error, close the plugin.
