Half-Life 1.1 Invalid Command Error Response Format String Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8730/info

It has been reported that Half-Life clients may be prone to a format string vulnerability. The problem occurs when an invalid command is issued to the server, and an error response is returned and displayed by the client. If a format specifier were included within the invalid command, when displaying the error the format specifier would be interperted literally. This could potentially be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Half-Life client.
