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.walkdirwithcontextfile, true; // overwrites r else r = self.chmodfilefile.andr; PoC: GNU returns 1 when a file fails;...

GHSA-4C7Q-4928-8445 chmod: --preserve-root bypassed by any path that resolves to root (e.g. /../)

Chmoder::chmod only compares the literal argument against Path::new"/", so the --preserve-root guard is bypassed by any path that resolves to root — a symlink to / or simply /../. if self.recursive && self.preserveroot && file == Path::new"/" return ErrChmodError::PreserveRoot"/".tostring.into; P...

The recursive mode -R of the chmod utility in uutils coreutils incorrectly handles exit codes when processing multiple files. The final return value is determined solely by the success or failure of the last file processed. This allows the command to return an exit code of 0 success even if error...
