See (emacs) Dired Enter:
Dired does not handle files that have names with embedded newline
characters well. If you have many such files, you may consider adding
‘-b’ to ‘dired-listing-switches’. This will quote all special
characters and allow Dired to handle them better. (You can also use the
‘C-u C-x d’ command to add ‘-b’ temporarily.)
