jerpelea opened a new pull request, #20250:
URL: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/20250

   ## Summary
   
   POSIX requires getdelim()/getline() to allocate a new buffer whenever 
*lineptr is NULL, regardless of the value of *n.  The previous code read the 
buffer size from *n unconditionally and only fell back to the initial size when 
*n was zero, so a caller that passes *lineptr == NULL together with an 
uninitialized (non-zero) *n caused lib_malloc() to be invoked with that garbage 
size and typically fail with ENOMEM.
   
   Treat a NULL *lineptr the same as a zero *n: (re)allocate from the known 
BUFSIZE_INIT and ignore the untrusted *n.  This matches the glibc behaviour 
that portable code relies on (for example toybox grep, which calls getdelim() 
with an uninitialized size variable).
