>Description:
There is a invoke to "readdir" function in /usr/src/bin/sh/expand.c:expmeta(char *enddir, char *name),then the result of d_name has been copied to "enddir"  scopy(dp->d_name, enddir);

is enddir enough large to hold this ?

expdir = ckmalloc(i < 2048 ? 2048 : i); /* XXX */

It seems like somebody has already known this problem,but nobody want to fix it!
>How-To-Repeat:
Get head source from svn,then review it.
