System: FreeBSD serv.int.fubar.geek.nz 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #7: Wed May 11 23:57:29 NZST 2005 root@serv.int.fubar.geek.nz:/usr/obj/srctrees/RELENG_5/sys/GENERIC i386


	
>Description:
archive_read_open_fd dosn't free the client data if fstat fails.
This can cause a memory leak as file_close is not called later to free the data.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
The following code leaks the client data as file_close from archive_read_open_fd.c is never called.

#include <archive.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
	struct archive *a;
	int i;

	a = archive_read_new();

	archive_read_support_compression_all(a);
	archive_read_open_fd(a, -1, 1024);

	archive_read_finish(a);
}
	
>Fix:
This patch fixed the leak by freeing the client data when fstat fails.
