CVE-2026-41458 Details
Description
OwnTone Server versions 28.4 through 29.0 contain a race condition vulnerability in the DAAP login handler that allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the server by exploiting unsynchronized access to the global DAAP session list. Attackers can flood the DAAP /login endpoint with concurrent requests to trigger a remote denial of service condition without requiring authentication.
A race condition vulnerability has been identified in OwnTone Server versions 28.4 prior to 29.1. This vulnerability resides in the DAAP login handler, where unsynchronized access to the global DAAP session list allows unauthenticated attackers to crash the server. By flooding the DAAP /login endpoint with concurrent requests, attackers can exploit this race condition to create a remote denial-of-service situation, without the need for authentication.
Users can upgrade to OwnTone Server version 29.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
