Published Oct 28, 2024 · Updated Oct 30, 2024

Buffer overflow in Spotify 8.9.58 for iOS allows remote attackers to crash the app through an undisclosed input path. The affected string-handling path uses strcat, which appends data without enforcing the destination buffer capacity; no file, function, or input field has been published. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the published impact is limited to loss of availability rather than data disclosure or modification.
