In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tools/power turbostat: Fix file pointer leak

file pointer. Fix this by fclosing the file before the return.
Detected using static analysis with cppcheck:
tools/power/x86/turbostat/turbostat.c:2039:3: error: Resource leak: fp [resourceLeak]
