CVE-2025-13735
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedOut-of-bounds Read vulnerability in ASR1903、ASR3901 in ASR Lapwing_Linux on Linux (nr_fw modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files Code/nr_fw/DLP/src/NrCgi.C. This issue affects Lapwing_Linux: before 2025/11/26.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the NrCgi.C file within the nr_fw DLP (Data Loss Prevention) module of ASR Lapwing_Linux firmware. This vulnerability affects ASR1903 and ASR3901 devices and allows reading memory outside intended buffer boundaries, potentially leading to information disclosure or denial of service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device modelCheck if the target device is an ASR1903 or ASR3901 device by examining system information, device labels, or via CLI command such as 'show version' or 'display device information'.Affected if Device model is ASR1903 or ASR3901 and runs Lapwing_Linux firmware
-
Verify nr_fw DLP module presenceCheck if the nr_fw module (Data Loss Prevention) is loaded or enabled on the device. This may be visible via 'lsmod', 'show modules', or checking DLP configuration settings.Affected if The nr_fw DLP module is present and active on the device
-
Check firmware versionRetrieve the current firmware version using 'show version', 'display version', or similar system command. Note the release date of the installed firmware.Affected if Firmware version was released before 2025/11/26 on ASR1903 or ASR3901 devices with nr_fw module enabled
-
Confirm NrCgi.C component existenceIf firmware filesystem is accessible (via TFTP, USB, or debugging interface), locate the NrCgi.C file within the nr_fw module directory to confirm the vulnerable component is present.Affected if NrCgi.C file exists in the nr_fw module path on the device
Device is affected if it is an ASR1903 or ASR3901 running Lapwing_Linux firmware released before 2025/11/26 with the nr_fw DLP module enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpdate ASR Lapwing_Linux firmware to a version released on or after 2025/11/26 to incorporate the fix for the vulnerable NrCgi.C component in the nr_fw modules.
