Summary

libgphoto2 up to and including 2.5.33 has a missing null terminator in ptp_unpack_Canon_FE() in camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c (line 1377). The function copies a filename into a 13-byte buffer using strncpy without explicitly null-terminating it; if the source is exactly 13 bytes with no null terminator, the buffer is left unterminated, leading to out-of-bounds reads in subsequent string operations. Commit 259fc7d3bfe534ce4b114c464f55b448670ab873 patches the issue.

Risk Assessment

Out-of-bounds reads and crashes may occur in applications using libgphoto2 when processing data from a Canon device.

Recommendation

Update libgphoto2 to a version containing the fix from commit 259fc7d3bfe534ce4b114c464f55b448670ab873.

Original NVD description (English source)

libgphoto2 is a camera access and control library. In versions up to and including 2.5.33, a missing null terminator exists in ptp_unpack_Canon_FE() in camlibs/ptp2/ptp-pack.c (line 1377). The function copies a filename into a 13-byte buffer using strncpy without explicitly null-terminating the result. If the source data is exactly 13 bytes with no null terminator, the buffer is left unterminated, leading to out-of-bounds reads in any subsequent string operation. Commit 259fc7d3bfe534ce4b114c464f55b448670ab873 patches the issue.
