From 'info ls' (yeah, I know, info pages are horrible...):

"
     Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies

     whether an alternate access method such as an access control list

     applies to the file.  When the character following the file mode
     bits is a space, there is no alternate access method.  When it is a

     printing character, then there is such a method.

     GNU ‘ls’ uses a ‘.’ character to indicate a file with a security

     context, but no other alternate access method.

     A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is

     marked with a ‘+’ character.
"

So, it indicates the file has a selinux context on it. (See which one
with ls -Z)
