D-Link G604T network adaptor

• CPU: Texas Instrument AR7W MIPS 4KEc based SoC with built-in ADSL and Ethernet interfaces
• DRAM Memory: 16Mb
• Flash Memory: 2Mb SquashFS file system
• Wi-Fi: TI MiniPCI card
• Ethernet: 5-port Ethernet hub (1 internal, 4 external)

The G604T runs MontaVista and busybox Linux which allows a degree of customisation with customised firmware. These and similar units from D-Link appear to have an issue that causes certain services to fail when using the factory provided firmware, namely the Debian package update service being interrupted due to a faulty DNS through DHCP issue at the kernel level. A v2.00B06.AU_20060728 patch was made available through their downloads section that provided some level of correction, but it was not a complete fix and the issue would resurface intermittently. When the issue was originally reported, D-Link seemed to have misunderstood that the same issue has been discovered by the Linux community at large to be common across a number of their router models and they failed to provide a complete fix across the board for all ADSL router models.

Russian version of the firmware (prefix .RU, e.g. V1.00B02T02.RU.20041014) has restrictions on configuring firewall rules – user can only change sender's address (computer address in the LAN segment) and the recipient's port. The web interface with Russian firmware also differs from the English interface.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Wireless ADSL router D-Link DSL-G604T|url=https://www.ixbt.com/comm/wrls-adsl-dlink-dsl-g604t.shtml#share|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051223130459/http://www.ixbt.com:80/comm/wrls-adsl-dlink-dsl-g604t.shtml |archive-date=2005-12-23 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=iXBT|language=ru}}

When running the D-link DSL-G604T router for the first time (or resetting), the device is configured with a default IP address (192.168.1.1), username (admin) and password (admin). Default username and password can also be printed on the router itself, in the manual, or on the box.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=D-Link DSL-G604T|url=https://router-passwords.com/brands/d-link/routers/dsl-g604t|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200922141719/https://router-passwords.com/brands/d-link/routers/dsl-g604t |archive-date=2020-09-22 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=Router Passwords}}

D-Link DSL-G604T has Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cgi-bin/webcm on the router allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the var:category parameter, as demonstrated by a request for advanced/portforw.htm on the fan page.

Directory traversal vulnerability in webcam in the D-Link DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router Modem allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an absolute path in the getpage parameter.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=CVE-2006-2337|url=https://infosec.cert-pa.it/cve-2006-2337.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825233517/https://infosec.cert-pa.it/cve-2006-2337.html |archive-date=2021-08-25 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=infosec.cert-pa.it}}

When /cgi-bin/firmwarecfg is executed, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication if their IP address already exists in /var/tmp/fw_ip or if their request is the first, which causes /var/tmp/fw_ip to be created and contain their IP address.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Dsl-g604t: Security Vulnerabilities|url=https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-899/product_id-5311/D-link-Dsl-g604t.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111214090551/http://cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-899/product_id-5311/D-link-Dsl-g604t.html |archive-date=2011-12-14 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=CVE Details}}

Owners reported that the router emitted a low, high-pitched sound when the ADSL line was synchronized.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=D-Link DSL-G604T Hacking|url=https://sites.google.com/site/justinsm/d-link-dsl-g604t-hacking|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031024041/https://sites.google.com/site/justinsm/d-link-dsl-g604t-hacking |archive-date=2020-10-31 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=Justin's Stuff}}{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=10 January 2007|title=Dlink DSL-G604T DNS Resolution Problems|url=https://www.jethrocarr.com/2007/01/10/dlink-dsl-g604t-dns-resolution-problems/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212052624/http://www.jethrocarr.com/2007/01/10/dlink-dsl-g604t-dns-resolution-problems/ |archive-date=2013-02-12 |access-date=29 December 2020|website=Jethro Carr}}
