exploitable buffer overflow bug in hl 1.1.0.8 (important read for cs players)

[jobberd]

Apparently theres a buffer overflow bug in the new half life 1.1.0.8 patch that can allow admins to execute arbitrary code on your computer. read up on it here

I'm confused. When they say "arbitrary code" they just mean the admins can execute console commands remotely, correct? If that's the case I wouldn't worry about it. Just hope you play at servers where the admins don't have the urge to execute the "kill" command remotely on a regular basis.
