Summary

libgphoto2 versions up to and including 2.5.33 have two functions in camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c that 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.

Risk Assessment

Unbounded reads may lead to memory disclosure or application crash. The risk affects systems processing data from Canon EOS cameras.

Recommendation

Update libgphoto2 to a version containing the fix (commit 1817ecead20c2aafa7549dac9619fe38f47b2f53) or later. Avoid processing untrusted camera data until updated.
