UDP is a connectionless, insecure protocol because there is no security from spoofing. This is not a bug in the software, but a side-affect of using a simple, outdated protocol. There is not much to be done except don't allow queries or switch HL to use TCP just for the query portion of the game. This of course would break everything.
