CVE-2026-40339

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library. Versions up to and including 2.5.33 have an out-of-bounds read in `ptp_unpack_Sony_DPD()` in `camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c` (line 842). The function reads the FormFlag byte via `dtoh8o(data, *poffset)` without a prior bounds check. The standard `ptp_unpack_DPD()` at lines 686–687 correctly validates `*offset + sizeof(uint8_t) > dpdlen` before this same read, but the Sony variant omits this check entirely. Commit 09f8a940b1e418b5693f5c11e3016a1ad2cea62d fixes the issue.

Las versiones hasta la 2.5.33 inclusive tienen una lectura fuera de límites en “ptp_unpack_Sony_DPD()” en “camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c” (línea 842). La función lee el byte FormFlag a través de “dtoh8o(data, poffset)” sin una comprobación de límites previa. La función estándar “ptp_unpack_DPD()” en las líneas 686-687 valida correctamente “offset + sizeof(uint8_t) > dpdlen” antes de esta misma lectura, pero la variante de Sony omite esta comprobación por completo. El commit 09f8a940b1e418b5693f5c11e3016a1ad2cea62d corrige el problema."
