v1.27.105 Linux - /opt/brave/crashpad_handler needs chmod 755 (rwxr-xr-x) permissions

Description

Linux client - /opt/brave/crashpad_handler needs chmod 755 (rwxr-xr-x) before brave will start.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download and Install v1.27.105 binary from linux zip.
2. run brave.
3. watch it fail with [13127:13127:0715/180320.407098:FATAL:double_fork_and_exec.cc(131)] execv /opt/brave/crashpad_handler: Permission denied (13)

Actual result:

[13127:13127:0715/180320.407098:FATAL:double_fork_and_exec.cc(131)] execv /opt/brave/crashpad_handler: Permission denied (13)

Expected result:

Brave starts and runs like every stable version before this.

Reproduces how often:

Easily reproduced. Brave will fail to start if this is not changed.

Brave version (brave://version info)

1.27.105

Version/Channel Information:

• Can you reproduce this issue with the current release? Yes

Other Additional Information:

Typing “sudo chmod 755 /opt/brave/crashpad_handler” resolves the issue, and manually setting permissions on the file was added to this version’s ebuild in Gentoo to work-around this issue in the package.

Miscellaneous Information:

Yeah, same here, can’t repro on up-to-date Arch Linux with the same zip file. The file in question is executable and the browser works as expected.

@jason-oliveira Hi Jason, thanks for the report but I’m a bit confused because I couldn’t reproduce the problem myself, not even using exactly the same link you provide in the description (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v1.27.105/brave-browser-1.27.105-linux-amd64.zip), see below:

Launching brave without issues

$ ./brave-browser --user-data-dir=/tmp/brave-browser-1.27.105

…which results on this:

@jason-oliveira How are you uncompressing the ZIP file? FWIW I got exactly the same results using unzip from the command line as well as GNOME Archive Manager 3.38.1, so I’m really surprised you’re getting different results. It sounds as something like umask was messing up your permissions but still very surprising.

If you could provide additional information in how you exactly extract things, and which versions of software components you’re using that would be helpful. Thanks and sorry not to have an answer for you right now.
