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 confidenceCVE-2025-29832 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive information. The CVSS 6.5 indicates network-based exploitability with low complexity and no authentication required.

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.
-
Verify if RRAS is installed on the systemRun PowerShell command: Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName RemoteAccess | Select-Object -Property State. Alternatively, check via Server Manager > Add Roles and Features > Remote Access, or review installed Windows features list.Affected if RRAS is installed (State = Enabled or the feature is present)
-
Confirm RRAS service statusOpen Services console (services.msc) and locate 'Routing and Remote Access' service, or run: Get-Service -Name RemoteAccess in PowerShell.Affected if The RemoteAccess service is running or set to start automatically (vulnerability is remotely exploitable only when RRAS is active)
-
Determine installed Windows version and build numberRun winver to see version and build, or use: systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version". For precise build, query: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentBuildNumberAffected if Build number falls below the fixed version for your Windows release (see affected version list)
-
Compare your build against affected rangesCross-reference your detected build number with: Windows 10 1507 < 10.0.10240.21014, 1607 < 10.0.14393.8066, 1809 < 10.0.17763.7314, 21h2 < 10.0.19044.5854, 22h2 < 10.0.19045.5854; Windows 11 22h2 < 10.0.22621.5335, 23h2 < 10.0.22631.5335, 24h2 < 10.0.26100.4061Affected if Your build number is less than the fixed threshold for your specific Windows release
Your system is affected if RRAS is installed and running, AND your Windows version/build is below the corresponding fixed version for your release.

Apply the appropriate Microsoft Windows security update for RRAS. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to RRAS servers and disable RRAS if not required.
Upgrade to: Windows 10 1507 to 10.0.10240.21014, Windows 10 1607 to 10.0.14393.8066, Windows 10 1809 to 10.0.17763.7314, Windows 10 21h2 to 10.0.19044.5854, Windows 10 22h2 to 10.0.19045.5854, Windows 11 22h2 to 10.0.22621.5335, Windows 11 23h2 to 10.0.22631.5335, Windows 11 24h2 to 10.0.26100.4061
- Identify the current Windows version by running 'winver' or checking System Properties
- Determine which version branch your system is on (e.g., Windows 10 22h2, Windows 11 23h2)
- Open Windows Settings and navigate to Windows Update
- Click 'Check for updates' and install all available updates
- Alternatively, manually download and install the specific cumulative update matching your fixed version from the Microsoft Update Catalog
- Restart the system after updates are installed
- Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed version (e.g., for Windows 10 22h2, verify version is 10.0.19045.5854 or higher)
- Confirm the RRAS service is running properly after the update
