Raining Skulls Update

A temporary patch has been made available for the Counter Strike exploit discussed in the previous post. You can find the temporary patch at:

Please note, this pacth not an offcial Valve update.

Here's the thread where I found the link. In the same thread it mentions that the makers of Mani Mod put out an update as well. Both of these patches give the admin(s) the ability to ban the person trying to issue the command that executes the exploit.

I find it fairly amusing that two independent sources have beat Valve to fix on this. Granted Valve has a little more work to do to issue a fix, but, they have the resources and should be able to react equally as fast.

As of now Valve has still not officially announced a fix.
