Steam updates - Garry's Mod and Source Engine
By Steven Perdikis - Fri Sep 11, 2009 9:31am

Those of you who noticed your Steam client download something this morning were not mistaken, especially if you own a source powered game. A small update was delivered this morning which addresses some universal security issues that you may recall from some earlier change logs.

In addition to the Source Engine changes, an update for Garry's Mod was also released, which adds new achievements, allows gamers to use a long lost variable all over again, fixing some of the older achievements so that they actually display as being unlocked once being achieved.

As always, restart your Steam client to grab the updates.

The complete change lists are as follows:
Source Engine
  • Fixed an exploit that allowed files to be uploaded to the server at arbitrary locations in the file system

  • Fixed a server crash caused by a client packet claiming to be an HLTV client when HLTV is disabled on the server

  • Fixed a server crash caused by spoofing a client disconnect message

  • Fixed a server crash caused by sending malformed reliable subchannel data
Garry's Mod
  • Added 10 achievements

  • Reenabled voice_inputfromfile

  • Fixed some unlocked achievements showing as locked
