Description

**Description of the false positive**

Even though the code first does a `stat` and then after that an `open` on the same file, it still afterwards checks that the `open` call succeeded before operating on the file descriptor. Thus, there is no toctou race condition. I understand that this can be considered an edge case, but still reporting it here for consideration.
