Occasionally, a trailing plus symbol ( drwxr-xr-x+ ) will appear on modern Linux distributions, signaling that deeper, hidden security policies are overriding your basic folder settings. Inspect these rules using the getfacl command line tool: getfacl /path/to/gecko/directory Use code with caution. Best Practices for Secure Updates

# Force directories to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) find /path/to/gecko-sdk-workspace -type d -exec chmod 755 {} + # Force files to standard read/write but maintain execution for scripts find /path/to/gecko-sdk-workspace -type f -exec chmod 644 {} + Use code with caution. Step 3: Re-enabling Toolchain Binary Execution
If a security scanner flags your Gecko directory, it may want you to move from 755 to 750 (drwxr-x---), which removes "World" read access. However, do this with caution, as it can break Gecko's ability to load certain shared libraries in multi-user environments. Conclusion: The Balanced Approach
