The plus sign indicates the presence of an ACL (access control list). ACL is an extension to the normal *nix permissions system which increases security by allowing the system more fine-tuning in who is permitted to access specific files.

It indicates that there is an extended ACL (Access Control List) attached to the file. ACLs are often used by security products (e.g., SELinux) to provide enhanced protections for a file. Use a ls -Z to see your SELinux security context if you're using SELinux.)
