CVE-2001-0358 describes buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Sierra Half-Life build 1573 and earlier, affecting both Sierra and Valve Software versions of the game. Remote attackers can exploit these flaws to execute arbitrary code by sending excessively long map or exec commands, or by providing long input within a configuration file. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
