Follow-up Comment #1, bug #36276 (project cvs):

All parse_config() calls do not check return value, run_exec() does not close
unneeded descriptors and CVS_FOPEN does not set O_CLOEXEC, so there is
possibility external command gets access to CVS configuration file.

I think copying final fclose() after set_defaults_and_return label is the
best
solution. Move is not enough because the non-error path would return without
closing the file.
