hi folks,

ran this command:
rpcclient -U Administrator%password PDC -c "getdriver PRINTER"

and got this output:

[Windows 4.0]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Here's the stacktrace:

#0  0x080a8abd in strlen_w (src=0x0) at lib/util_unistr.c:312

Poking around in it, the default data type for the printer is NULL,
which is returned to the rpcclient as a null string. So when we get to
this:

875             rpcstr_pull(defaultdatatype, i1->defaultdatatype.buffer, sizeof(defaultdatatype), -1, STR_TERMINATE);

the coredump above is generated because i1->defaultdatatype.buffer is
NULL.

This only happens for a level 3 info dump - levels 1 and 2 are quite
okay. I presume the correct fix is to check at
rpcclient/cmd_spoolss.c:875 if the defaultdatatype is NULL or not, but
I'm not 100% sure, so I'll leave that to smarter folks :)

Cheers,
Waider.
