DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in RakNet, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer underflow error within
the "ProcessOfflineNetworkPacket()" function in RakPeer.cpp. This can
be exploited to trigger a NULL-pointer dereference and crash an
application using the engine via a specially crafted UDP packet.

also be affected.
