GHSA-4x34-chg5-mwjj: chmod: recursive mode returns exit code 0 even when some files fail (last-file-wins)

In Chmoder::chmod() the recursive branch overwrites the running result instead of accumulating it, so the exit code reflects only the *last* file processed: if self.recursive { r = self.walk_dir_with_context(file, true); // overwrites r } else { r = self.chmod_file(file).and(r); } PoC: GNU returns 1 when a file fails; uutils returns 0 if the last entry succeeds: $ chmod -R 0755 chmod-bug/root chmod-bug/user # GNU -> ret=1 $ uutils chmod -R 0755 chmod-bug/root chmod-bug/user # -> ret=0 Impact: scripts relying on the exit code get a false success signal while some files retained restrictive/unexpected permissions, leading to access-control misconfigurations. Recommendation: accumulate errors during traversal.
