Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libmtp versions 1.1.12 and below

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow error in the ptp unpack OPL function of the ptp-pack.c file in the libmtp library. This error can be exploited by an attacker, potentially allowing them to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code when a mobile device is connected to a computer via a USB cable.
