    busybox: backport cve-2017-16544 fix
    
    In the add_match function in libbb/lineedit.c in BusyBox through 1.27.2,
    the tab autocomplete feature of the shell, used to get a list of filenames
    in a directory, does not sanitize filenames and results in executing any
    escape sequence in the terminal. This could potentially result in code
    execution, arbitrary file writes, or other attacks.
    
    Fixes: FS#1181 - CVE-2017-16544:
    
    Backport the patch from:
    https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=c3797d40a1c57352192c6106cc0f435e7d9c11e8
