CVE-2026-40340
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 vulnerability in `ptp_unpack_OI()` in `camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c` (lines 530–563). The function validates `len < PTP_oi_SequenceNumber` (i.e., len < 48) but subsequently accesses offsets 48–56, up to 9 bytes beyond the validated boundary, via the Samsung Galaxy 64-bit objectsize detection heuristic. Commit 7c7f515bc88c3d0c4098ac965d313518e0ccbe33 fixes the issue.

"value": "libgphoto2 es una biblioteca de acceso y control de cámaras. Las versiones hasta la 2.5.33 inclusive tienen una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites en ’ptp_unpack_OI()’ en ’camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c’ (líneas 530-563). La función valida ’len < PTP_oi_SequenceNumber’ (es decir, len menor que 48) pero posteriormente accede a los offsets 48-56, hasta 9 bytes más allá del límite validado, a través de la heurística de detección de tamaño de objeto de 64 bits de Samsung Galaxy. El commit 7c7f515bc88c3d0c4098ac965d313518e0ccbe33 soluciona el problema."
