Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the ptp_unpack_EOS_ImageFormat and ptp_unpack_EOS_CustomFuncEx functions due to missing length validation for input buffers. An attacker can cause the application to read out-of-bounds memory by supplying crafted data to these functions, potentially leading to information disclosure or application crash.
