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 · unedited
Integer overflow or wraparound in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

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 confidence

Integer overflow in Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) allows remote attackers to achieve code execution by exploiting the wraparound vulnerability in the network-exposed service.

MitigationApply Microsoft security patches for CVE-2025-54106 when released; if immediate patch unavailable, restrict network access to RRAS servers via firewall rules and disable RRAS if not 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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify RRAS is installed on the system
    Open Server Manager, go to Manage > Add Roles and Features, check if 'Remote Access' role with 'Routing' role service is installed. Alternatively, run 'Get-WindowsFeature -Name RemoteAccess' in PowerShell to list installed roles.
    Affected if RRAS role is installed and the server is running an affected Windows Server version
  2. Confirm RRAS service is running
    Open Services console (services.msc) and check if 'Routing and Remote Access' service status is Running, or run 'Get-Service RemoteAccess' in PowerShell.
    Affected if RRAS service is running and the server is running an affected Windows Server version
  3. Identify Windows Server version and build number
    Run 'winver' from command prompt or use 'systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"' to get the exact version and build number.
    Affected if Windows Server version matches any of the affected versions listed in the CVE
  4. Compare installed version against affected ranges
    Match your build number (e.g., 10.0.14393.xxxx) against the CVE thresholds: Server 2016 < 10.0.14393.8422, Server 2019 < 10.0.17763.7792, Server 2022 < 10.0.20348.4106, Server 2022 23h2 < 10.0.25398.1849, Server 2025 < 10.0.26100.6508. For Server 2012 R2, any version is affected if unpatched.
    Affected if Build number is lower than the CVE threshold for your Windows Server version

You are affected if RRAS is installed and running on an unpatched Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2022 23h2, or 2025 version below the specified build thresholds.

Apply Microsoft security patches for CVE-2025-54106 when released; if immediate patch unavailable, restrict network access to RRAS servers via firewall rules and disable RRAS if not required.

Recommended fix High confidence

Windows Server 2016 build 10.0.14393.8422 or later; Windows Server 2019 build 10.0.17763.7792 or later; Windows Server 2022 build 10.0.20348.4106 or later; Windows Server 2022 23h2 build 10.0.25398.1849 or later; Windows Server 2025 build 10.0.26100.6508 or later

  1. Identify the current Windows Server version by running 'winver' or 'systeminfo' in Command Prompt
  2. Determine which Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2022 23h2/2025 build number is currently installed
  3. Apply the appropriate Windows Security Update: For Server 2016, install build 10.0.14393.8422 or later; For Server 2019, install build 10.0.17763.7792 or later; For Server 2022, install build 10.0.20348.4106 or later; For Server 2022 23h2, install build 10.0.25398.1849 or later; For Server 2025, install build 10.0.26100.6508 or later
  4. Restart the server after applying the update
  5. Verify the update was installed successfully by checking the build number again
  6. Note: Windows Server 2012 R2 reached end of support and requires upgrade to a supported version (2016 or later)
Caveat Windows Server 2012 R2 is end-of-life with no security updates; upgrading to a newer server OS may require application compatibility testing
