# CVE-2026-40333: libgphoto2 has OOB read in ptp\_unpack\_EOS\_ImageFormat() and ptp\_unpack\_EOS\_CustomFuncEx() due to missing length parameter in ptp-pack.c

- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

## Affected

- gphoto libgphoto2: through 2.5.33

## Description

libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library. In versions up to and including 2.5.33, two functions in camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c accept a data pointer but no length parameter, performing unbounded reads. Their callers in ptp_unpack_EOS_events() have xsize available but never pass it, leaving both functions unable to validate reads against the actual buffer boundary. Commit 1817ecead20c2aafa7549dac9619fe38f47b2f53 patches the issue.
