A format string vulnerability has been discovered AMX Mod 0.9.2 and earlier which may be exploitable to execute arbitrary code on a target Half-Life server. The problem occurs when calling the 'amx_say' command. By passing specially constructed format specifiers as an argument to the command, it is possible to modify arbitrary locations in memory. It should be noted that rcon authentication is required to access the 'amx_say' command.
