https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3079

            Bug ID: 3079
           Summary: SIGSEGV (null pointer indirection) when a lookup is
                    performed on a key with no values using dbmnz.
           Product: Exim
           Version: 4.96+
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Lookups
          Assignee: unallocated@???
          Reporter: vsbugge@???
                CC: exim-dev@???


Steps to reproduce:

```
$> printf "test\n\n" | db5.3_load -T -t hash test.db
$> echo "\${lookup{test}dbmnz{$(pwd)/test.db}}" | ./exim -be                    

> 2024-03-07 00:05:10 SIGSEGV (fault address: (nil))

2024-03-07 00:05:10 SEGV_MAPERR
2024-03-07 00:05:10 SIGSEGV (null pointer indirection)
2024-03-07 00:05:10 SIGSEGV (109100 initializing
)
[...]
```

The bug was introduced in 6d2c02 and is present in the current master. The
issue causes issues with empty email lists in our mailing list system after
upgrading to Debian bookworm.

The bug is due to calling Ustrlen on a null pointer in the function
string_copyn_taint_trc ( src/functions.h ). I have a patch with a test ready if
you want to take a look.

Kind regards,
Sebastian Bugge
