UBUNTU-CVE-2026-40338 (CVE-2026-40338)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2026-04-18 00:16 – Updated: 2026-07-22 18:37 – Source website

Details

libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library. Versions up to and including 2.5.33 have an out-of-bounds read in the PTP_DPFF_Enumeration case of ptp_unpack_Sony_DPD() in camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c (line 856). The function reads a 2-byte enumeration count N via dtoh16o(data, *poffset) without verifying that 2 bytes remain in the buffer. The standard ptp_unpack_DPD() at line 704 has this exact check, confirming the Sony variant omitted it by oversight. Commit 3b9f9696be76ae51dca983d9dd8ce586a2561845 fixes the issue.

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-04-17 23:40 – Updated: 2026-04-20 16:16

Title

libgphoto2 has OOB read in ptp_unpack_Sony_DPD() enumeration count parsing in ptp-pack.c

Summary

libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library. Versions up to and including 2.5.33 have an out-of-bounds read in the PTP_DPFF_Enumeration case of `ptp_unpack_Sony_DPD()` in `camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c` (line 856). The function reads a 2-byte enumeration count N via `dtoh16o(data, *poffset)` without verifying that 2 bytes remain in the buffer. The standard `ptp_unpack_DPD()` at line 704 has this exact check, confirming the Sony variant omitted it by oversight. Commit 3b9f9696be76ae51dca983d9dd8ce586a2561845 fixes the issue.

The function reads a 2-byte enumeration count N via `dtoh16o(data, *poffset)` without verifying that 2 bytes remain in the buffer. The standard `ptp_unpack_DPD()` at line 704 has this exact check, confirming the Sony variant omitted it by oversight. Commit 3b9f9696be76ae51dca983d9dd8ce586a2561845 fixes the issue."

Summary

libgphoto2 vulnerabilities

Details

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing EOS image format data. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40333)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly null-terminate buffers when parsing Canon folder entries. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40334)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing device property values. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40335)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 had a memory leak when parsing Sony device property descriptors. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-40336)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing Sony device property enumeration data. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40338)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing Sony device property form flags. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40339)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing object information. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-40340)

It was discovered that libgphoto2 did not properly validate buffer boundaries when parsing EOS focus information. An attacker with physical access could possibly use this issue to cause libgphoto2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-40341)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
