libgphoto2-6: libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library
CVE-2026-40333 is fixed in 6 products on 1 platform, first by libgphoto2-6 2.5.27-1ubuntu0.1, released April 17, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
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.
